DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF THE MUSEUM'S PERMANENT EXHIBITS
The scattered museum of El Fondó, in Monòver, located in an area of crops and pine forests, and with an important story to tell.

The Fondó Museum is free to visit, set in the landscape, formed by four milestones that tell the history of the place, intertwined with the farmhouse and the paths in which, like sculptures that speak, make the visitor become a constructive detail of what is being told. What does it mean to build a museum in a hamlet of ten inhabitants located in the interior of the province of Alicante, between crops and pine forests? It is the site of the last days of the Second Republic in Spain. It is a very important heritage of historical memory. Here, during the war, there was an airfield of 1.5 km², with an air raid shelter that is now a museum, as well as military barracks. The shelter, and the future Interpretation Center, can now be visited in a rural school of the 70s, which has already been disentailed. Given the immaterial complexity of almost everything that is told and the difficulty of being able to make a visitable museum, for economic and infrastructure reasons, it was decided to rethink the concept of this space and project it as a sum of disintegrated places that articulate the place and that can be visited for interpretation and enjoyment. These architectural supports generate the habitat that protects the information inside, that communicates in the distance, that creates the circulation between them and that, with a physical, cold contact, the visitor perceives their intimate relationship.
