The leisure Center for the Elderly in Azuqueca de Henares (Guadalajara)
consists of a series of halls that are linked to one another
the Center is set forth as a contemporary variation of the traditional casinos
whose rooms were laid out with a certain disorder under the mottoes of leisure
The building consists of a low-rise pavilion
which functions as scenographic backdrop of a plot for public facilities and park across from the Town Hall
and a vertical volume containing the center’s offices
emerging from the plinth to become an urban landmark
and that includes a visual intervention by artist Tim Berresheim
exterior protections and landscape design have been studied to create a specific atmospheric effect and to materialize a building that produces no harmful gas emissions
based on a typology of chained spaces and alternating courtyards that is a typical type in the Castilian plateau
as well as on the use of landscaped roofs and geothermal energy as main source
