In the city of Madrid, the success of beer as a mass-consumption product was definitively consolidated during the 19th and 20th centuries, thanks to the emergence of significant large-scale production infrastructure. While this facilitated greater accessibility to beer, it also contributed to a gradual disconnect between people and the knowledge of its brewing process. From this contemporary disconnect between consumption and production arises the "El Águila Verde" (The Green Eagle) project, an integrative programmatic proposal centered on the spatial intersection of beer's ecological implications with the celebration of its cultural character.

The proposed intervention is divided into two parts: first, the transformation of the former El Águila brewery in Villaverde (Madrid) into a new cultural space; and second, the introduction of a new study center comprised of a linear sequence of five newly constructed pavilions, establishing a formal and volumetric dialogue with the existing architecture. The implementation of this new facility is achieved through a significant reconfiguration of the surrounding public space.

The project proposes the creation of a hybrid architectural device, situated between the urban and the rural, to offer an expanded cultural and educational experience. A place of gastronomy and crafts where celebrating, learning, consuming, and producing can once again become part of a single collective event: inhabiting the territory as a community.
