Project
Automate all the automatic access of Barcelona’s new science museum after the refurbishing of the old one.
Introductory propositions
The accesses had to be in accordance both with the modernist design of the building designed by Josep Domènech Estapà and with the design of the new annexed buildings. It was necessary a great number of different types of doors to cover the variety of the different entrances. In some specific entrances, the application of special solutions was critical.
Manusa solution
Manusa manufactured specially for CosmoCaixa 15 automatic doors for the different entrances and partitions. The predominant typology is the sliding standard door, although in some areas it was necessary the use of special curved doors to adapt to the environment. In certain areas automatic emergency exit doors with panic break-out system were installed to ease the exit under emergency situations.
