Its objective is to generate and share knowledge and provide new approaches to the stories on which today's cultural panorama is based. Understood as a critical tool for thought, but also as a vehicle for updating and review, the texts address those languages and themes on which the center's projects deal: history, sustainability, visual arts, architecture, sound creation...

Other CentroCentro publications are: Ciudad interior [in the Rural Galaxy], Cuestión de Ambiente. Diversity in the literary and artistic Madrid of the 1920s, Forgive me. I'm talking, watery Madrid, A green jade lake, Crossing the limits. Other looks at the Cibeles Palace, Traces of VANG: the suspended spring and Through the sand, Singular Plural Frequency.
