Centre Internacional de Convencions de Barcelona

Centre Internacional de Convencions de Barcelona
2000-2004
Presented by Michael Vetter

This is one on the largest Convention Centres in Europe, capable of accommodating 15,000 delegates in an architecturally innovative space facing onto the Barcelona coastline. The main hall in the building is at once structure and abstraction; the outside block speaks to the sea and the sky. The flows, of people and less diverse flows, the forms and the architecture which appears and often disappears among them.
