Caixa Forum, Zaragoza, Zaragoza, Spain. Architect: Estudio Carme Pinós, 2014. Morning view showing main facade.
Designed by architect Carme Pinós, who won Spain’s National Architecture Prize in 2010, the seventh CaixaForum cultural center built by the charitable foundation of Spanish bank La Caixa is a unique building in which the severity of its basic materials combines with both natural and artificial light coming in through 1,600 perforated aluminum sheets that cover the three-story, structure. The cubes host the center’s two halls dedicated to temporary exhibitions, one 780 square meters and the other 438 square meters. La Caixa has chosen a double exhibition of contemporary art, almost all of it from its own collection, to inaugurate the new building. Planos sensibles traces informalism in Spanish painting, while Narrativas de la imagen offers videos and photos taken in the last few years.
