AZKUNA ZENTROA–ALHÓNDIGA BILBAO. De almacén de vinos a Centro de Sociedad y Cultura Contemporánea [rustic]

Bilbao had other alhóndigas (winewarehouses) before all the services were centralised in a single building back in 1909. This book spans more than one hundred years of this eventful and interesting history, based on the research of the art historians Mikel Bilbao Salsidua and Arantxa Pereda Angulo.

The publication focuses on the situation prior to Ricardo Bastida'sAlhóndiga Municipal project and the architect's interest in developing the city of Bilbao. It also reviews the projects and renovations carried out after it was closed in the 1960s, culminating in Phillipe Starck's proposal and the creation of what is now Bilbao’s Society and Contemporary Culture Centre.
