At MEDIOMUNDO, led by Marta Pelegrín and Fernando Pérez, we see exhibition architecture as an opportunity to activate heritage and create new experiences for the public. The spatial design for the exhibition “Eduardo de Adaro. The Architecture of Banco de España”, in the Sala Chaflán at Banco de España in Madrid, reflects this vision.
Our project revitalises the Sala Chaflán as an exhibition space, adapting it to the needs of the Banco de España Collection and highlighting the figure and work of Eduardo de Adaro. The exhibition brings together original plans, construction documentation, and contemporary photography, allowing visitors to trace the architectural evolution at the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries in Europe.
The exhibition design, in harmony with the restoration of the space, prioritises the visibility and prominence of the pieces, displaying materials that reflect Adaro’s modernity and innovative character. As part of the experience, we have incorporated “BANCO BANCO”, a welded aluminium bench that accompanies visitors’ contemplation and journey through the exhibition.
At MEDIOMUNDO, we are committed to interventions that engage with history and context, integrating innovation, respect for heritage, and a contemporary perspective to enrich the cultural experience.
