歷時九年改建後即將開幕，大衛·奇普菲爾德讓西班牙百年銀行總部化身為藝術文化中心
即將於 2026 年 9 月 8 日正式開幕的 Faro Santander 美術館，座落於西班牙桑坦德 (Santander) 海濱，由大衛·奇普菲爾德建築事務所 (David Chipperfield Architects) 操刀設計。
.
這座美術館不僅是該事務所於西班牙設計的首座美術館，更標誌著這棟擁有悠久歷史的 Pereda Building（原桑坦德銀行總部），將首次全面開放給公眾。
.
整修改造工程耗時九年，將樓地板面積達一萬平方公尺的辦公空間轉化為多元文化設施，其中五個樓層規劃為藝廊，將展出西班牙極具規模的桑坦德銀行藝術收藏 (Banco Santander Collection)之外，還將作為推廣「藝術實驗」的平台；除了展覽空間，館內也會設置咖啡廳、餐廳、屋頂露台與位於地下室的演講廳。
.
大衛·奇普菲爾德 (David Chipperfield) 表示，這棟建築擁有複雜且多層次的歷史，整建重點在於重新思考公共建築所需的空間與連結性，同時體現該機構對開放、文化與參與度的承諾。
.
Pereda Building 的歷史可追溯至 1795 年，經過多次增建與修繕，此次改建致力於保留大部分的原始結構。
.
館內設計的核心為一條垂直的中軸動線，與立面上的拱門連結，形成一個視覺連通的虛空地帶。設計團隊指出，如此的設計象徵著空間角色從私人銀行總部轉向城市公共空間的歷史性跨越。
.
新增設施包括一座由清水混凝土打造的螺旋樓梯，以及與舊建築風格形成鮮明對比的鋼構屋頂亭台。
.
在永續層面，建築表現極為突出，團隊導入了地熱能源系統、綠化屋頂與雨水收集設施，最終以 92.96 的高分取得 BREEAM Outstanding 認證，據建築團隊表示，此分數為全球美術館或文化設施獲此認證的最高紀錄。
.
此次轉型目標明確，旨在將桑坦德與坎塔布里亞 (Cantabria) 地區推上西班牙北部的關鍵文化樞紐地位。
.
美術館總監 Daniel Vega Pérez de Arlucea 強調，Faro Santander 致力於打造一個所有人都能享受的文化中心，提供多樣且高品質的空間，讓每位訪客都能在此體驗獨一無二的文化之旅。

西班牙桑坦德的文化地標即將誕生！由普立茲克獎大師 David Chipperfield 操刀的「Faro Santander」美術館，將於 2026 年 9 月 8 日正式開幕。
這棟歷史悠久的 Pereda Building 原本是桑坦德銀行的總部，也是該建築首次對公眾開放。設計團隊花了整整九年時間，將一萬平方公尺的辦公空間變成了展覽空間、餐廳與屋頂亭台，中間那座清水混凝土螺旋梯真的超級吸睛！
最猛的是，它剛拿下 BREEAM 永續建築最高評級「Outstanding」，分數甚至創下全球美術館紀錄，集地熱、綠屋頂、雨水回收系統於一身。從昔日的封閉銀行變身為人人可及的文化燈塔，這座美術館絕對是接下來去西班牙北部必訪的藝術聖地！
The British and Spanish offices of David Chipperfield Architects have overhauled a bank on the Santander seafront in Spain to create an art museum, revealed here ahead of its official opening.
Set to open on 8 September 2026, the Faro Santander museum will occupy the 10-storey Pereda Building – the former headquarters of the bank Santander.
The museum, which is the first in Spain designed by David Chipperfield Architects, will open up the historic, listed building to the public for the first time.
David Chipperfield Architects' overhaul has converted 10,000 square metres of office space, with galleries now occupying five of its floors.
These galleries will contain artworks including pieces from the Banco Santander Collection – one of Spain's most extensive private art collections – while providing a platform for "artistic experimentation", the studio said.
Alongside the exhibition spaces are facilities including a cafe, restaurant, rooftop terrace and basement auditorium.
"Architecturally, it boasts a complex and multi-layered history," said studio founder David Chipperfield.
"We focused on rethinking the spaces and connections a public building needs, while recognising that the real significance of the project lies in the institution's commitment to openness, culture and participation."
The Pereda Building dates back to 1795, but it has been expanded and renovated several times since. Its overhaul by David Chipperfield Architects has been nine years in the making.
The transformation into Faro Santander has been carried out with the goal of putting "Santander and Cantabria on the map as key cultural hubs in northern Spain", according to the team.
"The transformation was about pursuing our vision of creating a cultural centre that is open to everyone – somewhere that is welcoming and accessible, with wonderfully diverse and high-quality spaces, where every visitor can enjoy a truly unique experience," said Faro Santander director Daniel Vega Pérez de Arlucea.
As part of the project, David Chipperfield Architects preserved much of the building's existing fabric.
At its heart is a circulation spine, which links to an arch on the building's facade, which is one of its distinguishing features.
This void visually connects the entire building, in a move the studio said symbolises "the shift from former bank headquarters to a generously proportioned public space for the city".
Among the new features are a spiral staircase, crafted from exposed concrete, and a rooftop pavilion formed from steel that contrasts with the existing building.
Elsewhere, the studio has introduced several features to enhance the building's environmental performance. This includes a geothermal energy system, green roofs and rainwater collection facilities.
David Chipperfield Architects said it has achieved Outstanding BREEAM certification with a score of 92.96, which it said makes it "the world's highest registered by a museum or cultural space".
BREEAM is a globally recognised sustainability certification for the built environment, for which Outstanding is its highest rating.
David Chipperfield Architects was founded by Pritzker Architecture Prize-winner Chipperfield in 1985. Today it has offices in London, Berlin, Milan, Santiago de Compostela and Shanghai.
