Madrid-based architecture firm A-Cero has won a competition to design a research center for renewable energy sources in Murcia, Spain with a plan that harnesses renewable energy to the maximum. The building designed by A-Cero will blur the gap between architecture and free space and incorporate several energy generating and saving systems.

The 9000-square-meter complex will constitute teaching areas, library, audio-visual, auditorium, administrative area and various other facilities including a parking. The horizontal plane of the plot bends to produce fissures that will serve as spaces to access the center and exterior spaces of the teaching areas.
