Partial use of additional space in an existing building located in the Botafogo district, Rio de Janeiro, to create a cultural center of Furnas / Eletrobrás.

The project includes a theater, a library, a café and an exhibition gallery, as well as the redevelopment of an adjacent public space. The theater and its back occupy a closed volume suspended above the access areas and the library. The exhibition gallery is partly preserved from the existing shed in the ground. A vertical distribution area created from the partial demolition of the existing hangar articulates the different parts of the program.
