Reina Sofia Case Study

A critical study of the Reina Sofia addition by Moneo, an important corner of the Golden Triangle of Art in Madrid, a contemporary piece meant to transform the area and make a sophisticated connection to the existing 18th century building. The Moneo addition is an interesting piece of architecture used to house contemporary collections of the museum, however the central courtyard is quite unsuccessful at creating an inviting place to commune. The case study follows the transformation of the building from a hospital to a renowned art museum.
