Culture-Colliding Renovations

Isuuru Architects Bring Spanish Palace to New Era

— January 8, 2011 — Eco
Aiete Park is a historic landmark in Sebastian, Spain, but it's recently been making news because of a modern upgrade by Isuuru Architects.

In facing the daunting task of renovating a classic architectural icon, Isuuru Architects walks a fine line between new and old. Somehow, this architectural firm manages to effectively convey and preserve both sensibilities with this bold, but fitting addition to the park.

Implications - Back in the 19th century, the Spanish palace was created as a place for royalty to escape. Today, it is home of the Human Rights Institute. The construction will fix up the palace and turn it into a modern-day beauty with long history. The featured images show off the amazing renovations that include a glorious, green-glassed space that is underground.
Trend Themes
1. Historical Preservation with Modern Renovation - The trend of preserving historical landmarks while giving them modern makeovers creates opportunity for architectural firms to bridge the past and the future through innovative design.
2. Cultural Fusion in Architecture - The trend of blending diverse cultures and architectural styles creates opportunity for innovative designs that bridge the gap between different communities and generations.
3. Innovative Use of Space - The trend of creating unexpected and nontraditional spaces, such as the underground green-glassed area in the renovated palace, offers opportunity for architects to push boundaries and create unique experiences for visitors.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - The architectural industry is presented with an opportunity to elevate the practice to a new level by blending history and tradition with modern design innovations.
2. Tourism and Hospitality - The tourism and hospitality industry is presented with opportunity in showcasing cultural landmarks that have been given modern makeovers.
3. Heritage Preservation and Management - The heritage preservation and management industry can seize the opportunity to protect and promote cultural landmarks by partnering with architects to give them modern updates and new purposes for the future.
