The Juan Soriano Cultural Center and Museum was built in 2018 by architectural firm JSa in Amatitlâan (Cuernavaca), Morelos, Mexico. Constructed inside a property surrounded by trees and the flow of water from a little creek, with a garden of 7,366 square meters, the objective of project was to create continuity and connection with the environment and as a green addition to the city of Cuernavaca. The building design creates continuity and connection with elements that integrated the building to the garden: water mirrors; a set of paths of concrete, gravel and soil around the preexisting vegetation; and monumental sculptures by Juan Soriano.

Chronicling the development of an exciting new cultural space

In 2014, Mexican architects Javier Sánchez and Aisha Ballesteros, of the firm JSa, were commissioned to build a new museum in Cuernavaca dedicated to the work of artist Juan Soriano and a contemporary art exhibition program. The given site was a walled-off property in the middle of a dense urban neighborhood, a space the architects wanted to give back to the city. Accordingly, JSa’s Juan Soriano Museum building, a refined concrete structure, takes up only about one quarter of the site: the rest is given over to a large public garden, which functions as a park and passageway for the city as well as a sculpture garden for the museum.

This book chronicles the development of the Juan Soriano Museum, from the state-run competition and the winning design submitted by JSa to the construction process and the ways this new cultural space is being used.
