The Lola Mora Cultural Center has opened in San Salvador de Jujuy to house six sculptures by the Argentine artist in a building conceived by César Pelli.
Its plan follows the shape of a chisel: a narrow entrance opens into a transparent, column-free hall suspended toward the Yungas forest.
The project includes photovoltaics, solar collectors, wind turbines and rain management. The team states that it can produce around 120% of its predicted energy demand.
Use will now test sculpture conservation, comfort beside extensive glazing, maintenance and continuous public access.

No. Energy is decisive, but full quality also depends on conservation, indoor climate, circulation, programming and a real relationship with the landscape.
