Survey on Cultural Heritage Adaptive Reuse practice

Project Id	3604
Project Name	Convent Carmen, Spain
Description	The former convent of San Jose in Valencia was readapted to house a cultural and gastronomical venue and in the future a hotel as well. The architectural intervention seeks a balance between history, design and nature. The intervention in the desacralized church is minimal and respecting the cultural heritage of the church with superimposed metal elements that outline its original shape. The new sculptural structure integrates all the audiovisual technical elements and expressive changeable colour lighting system highlighting the original structure and developing the past-future connection. Next, to the church, the garden houses the gastronomical market, with the intervention of three shipping containers outlining the patio with pergola shadowing the various sitting arrangements. To form the coherent and expressive place, the garden intervention, as well as the church, integrates the audiovisual and changeable colour lighting system creating the oasis in the city of Valencia.
