SELGASCANO
Architecture
'Recently completed, the auditorium and performing center 'el 'B'' designed by madrid-based practice Selgascano is placed along the docks of the harbor city of cartagena, spain. spanning the 1 kilometer long alfonso dock, a 20 meter void between the building and water serves as a promenade, maintaining the artificial waterfront of the port. the translucent exterior of the linear volume stretches 210 meters and projects the orthogonal edges found in the man-made environment. As visitors enter the interior, a delicate and light space is presented, evoking a soft aquatic ambiance that is decidedly missing from outside the building's walls.
Aluminum and plastic manufactured from a single extruded section are placed in diverse ways and tinted with pigments to appear as different elements. Set parallel to the pier's edge, the horizontality of the low-profile facade accentuates the structures length, with a roof terrace offering panoramic and nobstructed views to the sea.' source: DesignBoom
