Bilbao City Council, Bilbao, Spain. Architect: IMB Arquitectos , 2010. Reception and waiting area.
The new headquarters of Bilbao City Hall in San Agustin is situated behind the Neobaroque Palace that houses today Town Hall, built in 1892 by Joaquin Rucoba Architects. The new building contains the technical offices of the Town Hall. The historic building will maintain the image of the city corporation and the headquarters of the Mayor. The treatment applied to the existing public spaces has the objective to open the urban fabric and increase the available area and generate a little plaza as an urban antechamber or lobby to access the Town Hall Headquarters. The fragmentation of the whole in two volumes intends to integrate the building into the city plot, adapt to its the scale and its height and enhance the traditional pedestrian way across the area. The inside of the building aims to create flexible usage of the different floors.
