Station into the new headquarters of the Caixa Forum in Madrid. It is the work of Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron.<\/p>\n    \n\n\n<p>The rejuvenation and rehabilitation work was approached by considering the following action lines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Preservation of the building\u2019s appearance<\/strong>, while also maintaining its original geometry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An <strong>increase of the surface area<\/strong> from its original 2,000 m<sup>2<\/sup> to a total of approximately 10,000 m<sup>2<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One  of the peculiarities of the rehabilitation work was the removal of the granite plinth around the old factory, <strong>leaving the building suspended over a large public plaza<\/strong>, open on all four sides, and occupying an area of 2,500 m<sup>2<\/sup>. The square extends to the Paseo del Prado, where the main  entrance can be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The floor is covered by a  structure of concrete triangles which outline different sloping sections. The covered portion of the square also has a false ceiling made of triangular shapes placed at different angles and constructed from metal plates. Two ornamental fountains adorn the plaza, one of them under <strong>the spectacular vertical garden designed by Patrick Blanc<\/strong>. This garden is 24m high, with 460m<sup>2<\/sup> of surface area providing space for <strong>15,000 plants of 250 different species<\/strong>. It is a wall of plants which can survive without any soil, only requiring water and nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once  inside the building, highlights include the main staircase of the  building. The gap widens gradually as it ascends in a mark of engineering virtuosity requiring the use of rubber molds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A total of 7 levels<\/strong>\u2014two of them underground\u2014house offices, a restaurant located on the top floor, showrooms, a  shop\/bookstore, a 300-seat auditorium, conservation workshops, a  warehouse, and more. Next to the adjoining building is the wall of vegetation that acts to lure people into the new building and an important  landmark. Designed by French botanist Patrick Blanc, it is <strong>the first vertical garden to be built in Spain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/m-wysiwig>\n\n\n    <m-gallery :translations='{\n        &quot;prev&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,\n        &quot;next&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,\n        &quot;paginationseparator&quot;:&quot;of&quot;,\n        &quot;close&quot;:&quot;Close&quot;\n    }' class='gutenberg'>\n\n    <div slot=\"header\">\n                    <p>Description placeholder<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n\n                    <div slot=\"carouselItem\" v-lazy:background-image=\"'https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/13134926\/caixa-forum-ferrovial-1-1.jpg'\">\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <div slot=\"carouselItem\" v-lazy:background-image=\"'https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/13134927\/caixa-forum-ferrovial-2-1.jpg'\">\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <div slot=\"carouselItem\" v-lazy:background-image=\"'https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/13134928\/caixa-forum-ferrovial-4-1.jpg'\">\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <div slot=\"carouselItem\" v-lazy:background-image=\"'https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/13134929\/caixa-forum-ferrovial-5-1.jpg'\">\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <div slot=\"carouselItem\" v-lazy:background-image=\"'https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/13134930\/caixa-forum-ferrovial-6-1.jpg'\">\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <div slot=\"carouselItem\" v-lazy:background-image=\"'https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/13134931\/caixa-forum-ferrovial-7-1.jpg'\">\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <div slot=\"modalItem\">\n                    <img v-lazy=\"'https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/13134926\/caixa-forum-ferrovial-1-1.jpg'\" alt=\"Caixa Forum\" hidden\/>\n                <\/div>\n                                <div slot=\"modalItem\">\n                    <img v-lazy=\"'https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/13134927\/caixa-forum-ferrovial-2-1.jpg'\" alt=\"Caixa Forum Ferrovial\" hidden\/>\n                <\/div>\n                                <div slot=\"modalItem\">\n                    <img v-lazy=\"'https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/13134928\/caixa-forum-ferrovial-4-1.jpg'\" alt=\"Caixa Forum\" hidden\/>\n                <\/div>\n                                <div slot=\"modalItem\">\n                    <img v-lazy=\"'https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/13134929\/caixa-forum-ferrovial-5-1.jpg'\" alt=\"Caixa Forum\" hidden\/>\n                <\/div>\n                                <div slot=\"modalItem\">\n                    <img v-lazy=\"'https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/13134930\/caixa-forum-ferrovial-6-1.jpg'\" alt=\"Caixa Forum Ferrovial\" hidden\/>\n                <\/div>\n                                <div slot=\"modalItem\">\n                    <img v-lazy=\"'https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/13134931\/caixa-forum-ferrovial-7-1.jpg'\" alt=\"Caixa Forum Ferrovial\" hidden\/>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/m-gallery>\n\n    \n\n    <m-projects-distributor2 :translations='{\n        &quot;prev&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,\n        &quot;next&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,\n        &quot;paginationseparator&quot;:&quot;of&quot;\n    }'>\n                        <h2 slot=\"title\">\n                Related projects                <\/h2>\n                        <a slot='button' title='See more projects' href='https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/business-lines\/projects\/'>\n            See more projects        <\/a>\n\n            <\/m-projects-distributor2>\n\n    ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":83118,"menu_order":0,"template":"","nivel-1":[5480],"nivel-2":[6006,10460,6024,6001],"nivel-3":[5891],"nivel-4":[5892],"nivel-5":[7729],"class_list":["post-122291","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","nivel-1-construction-en-us","nivel-2-building-en-us","nivel-2-conservation-and-restoration-en-us-2","nivel-2-infrastructures-en-us","nivel-2-works-en-us","nivel-3-spain-en-us","nivel-4-madrid-en-us","nivel-5-ferrovial-construction-en-us"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
