When entering the ground
floor, the visitors arrive at the
lobby where they can relax in the
spiral or visit the restaurant,
furnished in red as a reference to
the city known for its red wine.
The same ground floor, those with
tickets can enjoy performances in
OARA’s 250-seat theatre featuring
flexible seating and acoustic
systems optimized by an all-black
checkerboard panel of concrete, wood,
and perforated metal. Upstairs,
filmgoers can view screenings at
ALCA’s red-accented 80-seat cinema or
visit the two production offices and
project incubation area.

FRAC occupies the upper
floors with 7m high exhibition
spaces, production studios for
artists, storage facilities, a 90-
seat auditorium, and café. The 850
m2 public roof terrace serves as a
flexible extension to the exhibition
spaces, allowing future large-scale
art installations and performances to
be placed outdoors amid views of the
city and the Basilica of St.
