Abstract

To publicise the recent opening of Andalusia's Museum of Memory, the buses in Granada bear the legend Bienvenido Futuro ('Welcoming the Future'), alongside a huge image of Alberto Campo Baeza's new building. It shows a towering, planar block, its concrete facade utterly blank except for a long slot gouged along the top and a smaller opening cut into its base. It has an air of unreality like an abstract and slightly menacing versión of a triumphal arch. If this is the future, then it comes with an Orwellian twist. More twodimensional than three, its reductivist, graphic quality has made it the obvious choice for the museum's logo; building as symbol, literally emblematic of Granada's newest cultural institution.
