The intervention must consider the heritage value of this complex, with its undeniable historical and artistic significance, taking into account its special urban planning classification. The building must be respected, emphasizing the characteristics of this early 20th-century industrial construction, but offering a reinterpretation of these values ​​that transcends the traditional "taxidermic" approach that often characterizes such interventions—"look but don't touch"—an excessive respect that conditions and limits comprehensive interventions that would allow for new possibilities to be explored so that the "old" becomes new, not through an external facelift, but through a "regeneration" of its vital elements.

The exhibition spaces for Intermediæ Prado must be flexible and adaptable, capable of reflecting the ideas of Intermediæ Matadero as well as those of the public. Therefore, we seek undefined, dynamic, unfinished, interstitial, limitless… unpredictable spaces. Only those elements with permanent use, or those logically related to services (storage, restrooms, management, installations, vertical circulation), will be designed as specific spaces with predetermined functions.
