Interior conditioning in Gandiaga Topagunea for Arantzazu nature interpretation center
The Parketxe or Interpretation Center of the Aizkorri-Aratz Natural Park is located inside the Cultural Center "Gandiaga Topagunea". Respecting the stone design of the whole, it is designed as an excavated space that is drilled with holes oriented to the views and is marked with pronounced horizontal cracks that provide the illumination to the interior routes.
The main access is in the central road, underneath the bridge that unites the two buildings of the Cultural Center. A glass gate defines the reception space as an open space to the exterior that contains information and general services, while serving as a presentation of the exhibition concept that is developed in the upper floors.
Through a staircase carved in stone, one can access the exhibition space, conceived as an excavated box, which is deployed in geological tours through compressed and dark spaces that finally open to a large central space where the natural park, its geography and its images , are protagonists.
