la Laguna. Tenerife caja Canarias, 2005

自20世纪末期开始，西班牙出现了许多为先锋运动杰出画家修建的小型博物馆。这些博物馆同时也是举行文化艺术活动的场所，促进了文化艺术活动的蓬勃发展。通常，博物馆会提高其所在区域的关注度，同时也提供了一次修复和保存历史建筑的契机，否则随着时代的发展，历史建筑将不复存在。

Casa Martínez Barona（18世纪）位于拉拉古纳的城市中心，被评为世界遗产。该建筑的境况十分糟糕，其建筑方案不够理想，部分结构甚至已经完全毁坏。Casa Martínez Barona在历史、艺术和建筑方面的重要性成就了此次翻修工程。

Since the late 20thcentury many small museums dedicated to outstanding painters of the avant-garde movements have been created in Spain. These museums have been turning into spaces that also promote plenty of artistic and cultural activities. They usually give a lot more visibility to the areas where they are located and in many cases they have helped to restore historical buildings that would not have been preserved otherwise.The “Casa Martínez Barona” (18th century) is located in the centre of the site declared World Heritage of the city of La Laguna.The building wasin deplorable conditions, with low construction solutions and with some parts totally ruined.The historical, artistic and architectural importance of the construction was what set the basis of the refurbishment.



















众所周知，在当今时代将历史建筑翻修改建成为博物馆需要十分特殊和复杂的系统。因此在实施这类工程时面临的最大困难就是如何在保存藏品的需求和保护历史建筑本身之间达成平衡。此外，还需要考虑现代艺术及其未来发展的需求。

该翻修工程旨在呈现一个现代的，甚至在某种程度上洁净的博物馆，始终牢记现代建筑与18世纪历史建筑核心和传统之间的必要联系。因此，设计避免采用复杂花哨的结构，直击建筑的原始结构、装饰及风格类型。

As of today, is well known that the use of historical buildings as museums requires specific and very complex systems. This is the reason why one ofthe most difficult parts in developing an architectural project of these characteristics is finding balance between the need of keeping the collections properly and the preservation of the building. In this case, the intervention was also made taking into account the future contents, bounded to contemporary art.

The refurbishment aimed to be contemporary and in some way aseptic, always keeping in mind the needed connection between modern architectureand the essence and heritage of this historical 18th century construction. It is for that reason that complex and showy structures were avoided, goingfor the original structure, ornaments and typology of the building instead.
