A new space for education and the arts
The intervention by Archstudio involved the renovation of one of the largest single-floor halls at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, previously used as a school history museum. The project aimed to make the space suitable for modern educational needs and cultural events. As part of the celebrations for the academy's centenary in 2018, the building was converted into a multifunctional hall that hosts art exhibitions, large meetings, and performances.
The designers adopted a "space sketch" approach, using essential forms and simple materials to redefine the interiors, making them flexible and suitable for multiple functions. This philosophy guided the entire intervention, creating a space capable of meeting diverse needs with a contemporary and elegant aesthetic. The project falls under the category of renovation projects that have successfully transformed a dated environment into a dynamic meeting place for students and faculty.
