Description

Chronicling the development of an exciting new cultural space In 2014, Mexican architects Javier Sánchez and Aisha Ballesteros, of the firm JSa, were commissioned to build a new museum in Cuernavaca dedicated to the work of artist Juan Soriano and a contemporary art exhibition program. The given site was a walled-off property in the middle of a dense urban neighborhood, a space the architects wanted to give back to the city. Accordingly, JSa’s Juan Soriano Museum building, a refined concrete structure, takes up only about one quarter of the site: the rest is given over to a large public garden, which functions as a park and passageway for the city as well as a sculpture garden for the museum. This book chronicles the development of the Juan Soriano Museum, from the state-run competition and the winning design submitted by JSa to the construction process and the ways this new cultural space is being used.
