The Medialab-Prado is designed by Maria Langarita and is used as a research lab and exhibition space in Madrid. It has a very artistic look to it and is modern to say the least. It is a new building build around an older building, and the cool thing about this is that not only does it provide a new look for the city but it also preserves an older building and provides historic value to the new structure. Another interesting thing about the building is that is is considered a flexible building. This means that the materials used inside of it allow for easy redesign and things can be moved around fairly easily if the tenants want a new look. What I like about this building is that they used the older building as a foundation and then build an awesome looking structure around it, but not only that I find it pretty cool how flexible it is. Rather than having to redesign an entire building or gut it out, they can change it up quick and easily.
