glass and titanium

The building itself is an extraordinary combination of

interconnecting shapes. Orthogonal blocks in limestone contrast with

curved and bent forms covered in titanium. Glass curtain walls

provide the building with the light and transparency it needs. Owing

to their mathematical complexity, the sinuous glass, and titanium

curves were designed with the aid of computers. The glass walls were

made and installed to protect the works of art from heat and

radiation. The half-millimeter thick "fish-scale" titanium panels

covering most of the building are guaranteed to last one hundred

years. As a whole, Gehry's design creates a spectacular and eminently

visible structure.

Guillermo, me encanta el escorzo conseguido en esta, con una perspectiva muy acusada.

La verdad que mi foto se parece a esta... pero son en distintos lugares del edificio. Pero el motivo de la foto parece ser el mismo. El mio fue un poco mas los volumenes y la tuya parece mas centrada en los materiales... Buen disparo. Me encanta.

Impresionante! Y yo sin conocerlo todavía.

Bellissima prospettiva ondulante!!!!!!!!

I couldn't resist taking my scissors and enclosing this suggestion before Charo does!

Excelente, maybe I can get to see it in the inside some day, I just keep getting there on mondays for some reason.....

Lo sigo diciendo: Urge ir a Bilbao...Urge! Esta composición me gusta aun con el cielo.

Muy sugerente. Me gusta mucho la foto original, con el cielo aportando el contraste adecuado.

love it!
