The first requirement that MALBA must address is to be inclusive, receptive, and friendly to a citizenry that does not want to know about barriers or elitism. The city must enter the museum, and with it the visitors, who must find within its walls an environment that is familiar to them, that they understand has been planned with them in mind, clarifying for them that contemporary art is ultimately not anything more than the creative expression of some people who have the same preoccupations as the visitors. In this dialogue between the visitors and the art, the moments of contact with the building play a crucial role: crossing the threshold, buying a ticket, leaving a coat in the cloakroom, receiving information or having a drink in its informal cafeteria. To achieve this, we resort to a set of everyday materials, close to industrial aesthetics or DIY, to manipulate them with simple assembly techniques that convey the message that you could have built it yourself. The design unifies all the activities prior to or after the visit to the exhibition halls in a single open space, with a continuous floor that evokes the concrete of the sidewalks, on which a series of small wooden constructions are distributed, profiles of steel and aluminium and little else.
