This proposal aims to establish a new Congress Centre in the city of Alicante. The chosen site is a plot of land located between docks 9 and A, facing dock 7 of the Port of Alicante. This location presents both challenges and opportunities, offering the chance to expand the city’s public spaces by integrating them with existing landmarks such as the iconic esplanade.

Increasingly, public amenities serve not only as functional spaces but also as hubs for social interaction, civic engagement, and shared goals. As such, the project seeks a distinctive architectural approach that harmonizes with the surrounding environment and fosters synergies among users, the immediate surroundings, and the city of Alicante.

The immediate vicinity includes diverse structures such as the maritime polytechnic institute to the west, a large shopping centre, and a recently constructed building in the digital district. Amidst this variety, the new Congress Centre is positioned to complement the port area.

Moreover, the Congress Centre will act as a central hub for cultural and intellectual activities, promoting collaboration and knowledge exchange within Alicante’s diverse community. Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and flexible event spaces, it is poised to attract international conferences and exhibitions, enhancing Alicante’s reputation as a premier destination for business and academia. This strategic initiative is expected to contribute to the city’s economic growth and solidify its position as a key player in the Mediterranean region’s conference and convention scene.
