7 NanoPhysics Lab Nanogune Tolosa Hiribidea San Sebastián This beige looking lab is located next to one of the city entry roads, near the university It has an industrial use yet it s an institutional sediment It s also a building boundary between the urban and nature: it starts at the 'asphalt' but is behind the foothills of mount Igueldo With an urban presence and s base of basalt and glass which gives it an air of "pedestal" The Nanogune consists of a tower of 6 storeys and 6 boxes, has an area of 6,000 sqm and is covered with a "skin" that gives it a gray or golden shine The building has a bioclimatic façade, "a kind of thermal quilt" in the words of the architect Exterior esthetics are important to fit the landscape, in the interior a complicated system of protection is required The most impecible one is the 'clean room', devoted to research and where "not a speck of dust" can enter Both this room and the basement laboratories are built in a tight space, isolated from any vibration, electromagnetic interference, noise and dirt Project is not public!

13 San Martin Market Calle de Urbieta San Sebastián This new market hall, now more shopping mall than food, replaced an old market place which was originally built in 1884 José de Goicoa designed this original building, inspired by a French example, the Les Halles in Bayona The old market was built at the point when the city of Donostia started to grow beyond its walls, and the market has subsequently expanded since Eventually the old market place with fresh fish, fruit and meat, has grown to be part of the collective historic memory and the social structure of the city Because the need for commercial space in the city centre grew, and the consumer behaviour changed, the city decided to replace the old market This decision was a controversial one Many inhabitants dispute the necessity of another new and mediocre shopping mall, and argument that the city, known for it's strong gastronomic tradition should not have replaced the fresh food-stalls with DVD's and clothing Floor area/size m² Main designer, Luis Uzcanga Almudena Grandío City of Donostia Naomi 13

15 Cultural Centre Aiete Park Paseo de Aiete San Sebastián This is a culture and Human Rights Institute located in the monumental "Aiete Park" The project involves the rehabilitation of Aiete Palace and the construction of a new building, half buried, placed in the yard The neo-classical palace was for many years, the place of residence for royalty and the nobility During his reign as a dictator, Francisco Franco chose it as his summer residence The symbolism of it being recovered for democratic society is therefore immense The new building houses the main uses of cultural facilities Socket is a roof garden, a building deliberately abstract that does not come into competition with the figurative language of the Palace It has half-buried in the platforms of the north side, joining them and maintaining the configuration of this part of the garden: the relationship with the city palace and the relationship with the park through the existing platform structure Isuuru City of Donostia-San sebastián NGHM Phone number: (00 34) casadelapaz@donostiaorg,bakearenetxea@donostiaorg Timetable: 11:00-13:30 and 16:00-20:00 City buses to Aiete: 19 Aiete, 23 Errondo, 31 Intxaurrondo-Hospitales-Altza, 35 Arriola-Antiguo-Aiete-Hospitales There aren t many parking areas close to the House of Peace and Human Rigths Centre, so we recommend you to use the public transport 15

16 Peine del Viento Paseo del Piene de los Vientos San Sebastián At one end of the Bay in San Sebastian at the foot of Mount Igeldo was where Eduardo Chillida placed his favorite piece of work, the Wind Comb (Peine del Viento), in 1977, with three spectacular pieces of steel anchored to the rocks and surrounded by the sea This is a magical space, which is a unique example of harmony between art and landscape The place, according to Eduardo Chillida, is the sole focus of works of art, and is a vital factor that conditions any activity As the beginning and end of the urban fabric in San Sebastián, the Wind Comb combines the artist s main concerns but it is the concept of space that stands out most clearly The artist s work is not included in a space but the work itself creates the space This is a place that, in itself, has attracted my attention throughout my entire life We all usually have a place like this in our lives ; the place has given me an idea of what I m going to do 1977 Artist Eduardo Chillida City of Donostia hansbrinker 24/7 Walk all the way along the bay La Concha, towards the west You'll find the sculptures at the feet of the monte Igeldo Next to the sea, at the end of the boulevard 16
