Dusk elevation with public square and lit up museum. Museu del Disseny de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain. Architect: MBM Arquitecte

---

The building is the work of MBM Arquitectes, the architecture studio formed by Josep Martorell, Oriol Bohigas and David Mackay, together with Oriol Capdevila and Francesc Gual. The edifice is made up of two parts: one underground (which takes advantage of the slope created by urban development of the plaza) and another which emerges at m (at the level of Plaça de les Glòries).Construction below the height of m. Most of the surface area of the building is situated below the m level and is where the more significant installations are housed. They are distributed over two floors and a gallery, and include the main exhibition hall, rooms given over to management and preservation of the DHUB's collections, the main offices. Through the ground level, the basement floor receives natural light from a trench which is worked into the different ground levels and which features a huge lake, creating a dialogue with the outside. Lighting is reinforced with six skylights.
