...Former Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles praised LISE’s design, which was done by renowned Spanish architect and Graduate School of Design professor Rafael Moneo. The design integrates the edifice into the surrounding structures, although Knowles acknowledged that constructing the nanotechnology building in an urban environment added considerably to expenses...
...wing of Madrid's Prado museum is humming with activity as curators prepare for its Oct. 31 opening. Above ground, in galleries built around architect Rafael Moneo's translucent, lantern-shaped patio, epic-sized historical paintings from the museum's rarely displayed 19th century collection rest against the walls, waiting to be fitted into their frames. Below ground, white-gloved workers are laboriously transferring the 3,000 works currently in storage to a new, climate-controlled archive system. And in the Room of Muses, a lone conservator painstakingly cleans a sculpture of Erato, the Greek muse of lyric poetry...
...this expansion is much more than just an excuse to sell more tickets and Goya posters. Moneo's design serves the museum's collections rather than overwhelming them. "We chose him because, in addition to being a great Spanish architect, he is humble," says Zugaza. "He knew how to work harmoniously with the neoclassical architecture of the original." The new wing was never intended to bear the bold signature of a Pei pyramid or a Gehry curve; it manages instead to be quietly beautiful. An exquisitely crafted foyer of cedar, textured granite and brushed bronze is lined on one side...
...mouse research labs in two underground levels below the Biological Labs courtyard. The Northwest Laboratory Building, with its futuristic glass front, will face the museum complex on Oxford Street. And the ultra-modern Laboratory for Integrated Science and Engineering, designed by world-renowned Spanish architect Rafael Moneo, will rise behind the Science Center and feature what a University press release calls “an unusual pearlescent facade that changes subtly with the day’s lighting.”Together, the projects—to be completed by 2007—comprise the biggest component...
...known throughout Spain for its signature shell-shaped beach, Playa de La Concha, and its exquisite culinary tradition. Less well-known is its breathtaking coastline, but if you're in the area, don't miss a walk along it. Start at the gigantic glass cubes of Rafael Moneo's Kursaal Convention Center, then cross the adjacent Kursaal Bridge, turn right toward the Paseo Nuevo (New Promenade), and leave the Old Quarter behind. The almost 1-km-long Paseo meanders between stately cliffs and churning sea; locals come on windy days and "play" - outrunning waves that splash high into...
