Arts & Culture

We design cultural infrastructures that merge identity, sustainability, and outstanding user experience.

Designing cultural spaces that inspire communities

Museums, auditoriums and performance venues are more than functional infrastructures—they are cultural landmarks that express identity, promote exchange and strengthen social fabric. At Sener, we apply multidisciplinary engineering and architectural expertise to deliver projects that combine aesthetics, functionality and sustainability. Our portfolio includes emblematic works such as the Bilbao Maritime Museum, the main hall of Teatro Real, San Roque Civic Center, the Modern Art Museum in Wroclaw, MUNET Museum in Mexico, and the Mexico City Aquarium among many others.

We create cultural buildings that merge identity, performance, and sustainability

Our projects are conceived as more than functional venues—they are civic icons. By combining architectural identity with innovative engineering, we create cultural infrastructures that inspire pride, host diverse events and contribute to sustainable urban growth.

Why choose us

Sener has a strong background in the design and delivery of emblematic facilities across different sectors, and this expertise extends to cultural projects. By bringing together architects, engineers and cultural consultants, we ensure that arts and culture buildings become landmarks for their cities. Our track record in complex public infrastructures demonstrates our ability to manage scale, complexity and integration with urban surroundings. Whether designing new auditoriums or modernising heritage assets, we adapt international best practices to local contexts.

How we work

We follow a structured methodology that begins with an in-depth understanding of community needs, cultural programming, and site conditions. During design, we integrate architectural vision with acoustic modelling, energy efficiency strategies, and digital tools like BIM. In the implementation phase, we coordinate architecture, structure and MEP systems under strict quality standards. Finally, we provide lifecycle support, ensuring that facilities remain efficient, safe and aligned with evolving cultural uses.

We partner with leading studios to shape sustainable, adaptable cultural venues.

We collaborate with leading architecture studios in the design and delivery of singular buildings—museums, theatres, auditoriums and cultural venues that demand bold vision and technical precision. Together with firms such as Foster & Partners, Jakob + MacFarlane, Enrique Norten, Tatiana Bilbao, Federico Soriano and many others, we bring to life projects that combine architectural ambition with engineering excellence.
