This project is focused on a part of Ntra. Sra. de la Merced (M.M. Mercedarias) convent, in Málaga. The Museum and Foundation Jorge Rando is an institution whose mission will focus on the study, research, knowledge and dissemination of expressionism with a concept: always open doors… people go inside and art goes out.

Relationship with the courtyard has been renovated, and preservation of convent has increased thanks cultural, actual and new equipment with special sensibility in their surroundings. Steel, concrete and whitewashed walls, are the materials used for this building, intended as a component of dissemination of expressionist poetry, away from the beaten track of mass context, culture from the neighborhood.
