The AF6 Arquitectos firm in 2010 completed a renovation on the Triana Ceramic Museum on Calle Triana located in Sevilla, Spain.
The designers told ArchDaily that the project was to develop an old pottery complex, along with its ceramics exhibition area, a tourist center and areas for different commercial and production spaces. They state that the surrounding neighborhood is a complex urban area which blends yards, craft workshops and housing. It’s a place where work and craftsmanship coexist with daily life.
The ground floor of the building was designed to be a continuous walk through the various pottery kilns. This floor also includes shops and a historic pottery factory where work exhibitions are housed. They state the project achieves a “labyrinthine journey” through the old factory which shows visitors the history of ceramic production in the region. To sell the idea of the building as a piece of history, the architects left alone elements such as smoke stains, bricks, wood and ash.

we loved visiting this museum (in May 2016) and their collection of pottery and tiles is stunning. The ruins of the old kilns are also very interesting. Recommend it to all ceramic nerds!
