Madrid Trip_day two_27/2/09

Today we visited Prado MediaLab in which we presented our WAF project as well as individual projects. They also presented the stuff they do to us and were genuinely interested in our work are interested in collaboration!! We also discussed future projects together and went for a beer after a seminar in the evening, we have said we will keep in touch and we left a book we created with our work in.

We went round the different districts of Madrid and viewed the renovation of a library, Real Academia Belles Artes (19th Century Centre for exhibitions and the Arts) and then to the Conde Duque (contemporary art museum , in converted 18th Century palatial stables)although unfortunately there specific viewing times but we got to see some parts of the building, the reworking of an existing building into something new. We also saw the site for the competition to redevelop an old tobacco factory into a new media and visual arts center.......a competition we may enter!
