Cineteca Matadero - Churtichaga and Quadra-Salcedo
Huge glowing baskets surround the staircases of this former slaughterhouse in Madrid that Spanish architects Churtichaga+Quadra-Salcedo have converted into a cinema.
The illuminated orange structures dominate the three floors of the film archive, which are otherwise dimly lit and lined with dark grey-painted wood.
First constructed at the start of the twentieth century, the Cineteca Matadero was used as an abattoir and livestock market for around 85 years, but is now renovated to accommodate two cinema screens, a film studio, an archive and a terrace for outdoor screenings.
