The headquarters of Faena Arts Center is located in what was once the old machine room of the emblematic building and has been painstakingly rebuilt while retaining the original heights. A space defined by the architectural characteristics of the past to harmoniously house the daring, versatile and demanding expressions of contemporary art.
