Summary
Medialab Prado stands out as a pioneering model for democratizing technoculture within UNESCO's Paseo del Prado and Buen Retiro landscape. Unlike traditional exhibition spaces, it fostered open, collaborative cultural production, blending architecture, urban design, and citizen engagement. The study reveals how its spatial properties aligned with Richard Sennett’s concept of an 'open city,' emphasizing ethical urban living through participatory processes. By analyzing Medialab Prado’s evolution from a laboratory to a 'citizen lab,' the research highlights its unique role in bridging technological innovation, cultural creation, and civic space, offering key lessons for reimagining public institutions in the digital age.
