Therefore, my research focused on two main subjects:
1. the field of contemporary performing arts, as a hybrid domain pushed to unconventional places
2. the building itself, from a historical, social and architectural point of view.
Comparing today's abandoned building with the Artillery Factory in relevant historical documents, I came to the conclusion that the major threats for this architectural composition were the improvised additions that affected in time the coherence.
After a detailed assessment of the architectural changes I took a series of decisions regarding the selective restoration of some relevant elements as well as the removal of non-valuable elements affecting the perception of the original building.

The east wing next to the major "patio" is subject to a complex insertion I suggested, which is meant to house a hall for indoor performances and visitors related facilities.
Taking advantage of the strategical position of this insertion that replaced a provisional warehouse, I linked the space dedicated to visitors to a top terrace, opening a great view of the spectacular roofing system and a vast panorama of Seville with its landmarks.
