After successfully viewing the Tyssen in the morning we then walked the nearby Prado museum however due to a massive wait as of the queue size we decided to move onto the Reina Sofia that had unfortunately closed earlier than anticipated. Feeling that not much was going to get done we decided we would travel to Eco-boulavard in South-east madrid as we had seen some nice projects there at an exhibition we saw on the saturady.
Once we found the place after 20 mins on tube and a 20 min walk we were amazed by the site. Sitting right on the periphery edge of the city, there were new forms of housing and architecture surrounded by wastelands. The complex is new and there were few inhabitants around but the emerging forms were interesting to see, it almost felt like a test bed for new housing types and projects that you would not find in the center of the city. We spent the rest of the day walking around the site before leaving to finally get dinner at our hotel around 11pm. We then chatted in the bar about the trip and the work we were going to have to do when we get back to england!!
