Museum Center for the Interpretation of the Indians in Sant Pere de Ribes

The decision to create a small museum on ramp for the adjoining town hall has been the result of solving the 50cm difference in level. Between the street and the interior of the property, excavated to meet the minimum height of a self-service property.
This avoided the arrengement of an orthopedic entrance ramp next to the access stairs to the descent. By creating access for all, historically segregated ramps for users with disabilities were avoided.
The access that segregates has been replaced by the access of all.
Inside, a small theater, where the perspective forced by the ramp, culminates in an interactive stage.
Joining the pavement with the sidewalk of the street level has allowed the upper entrance area of ​​the property to recover a space lost in the ground to locate a molten glass exhibition.
The old facade on the ground floor with a frieze and three openings has been redesigned to create a large portal that invites the visitor to enter the small property, perceiving it as an extension of the Plaza de la Villa that presides over the town hall building.
