Contemporary Architecture in Spain

Adán Martín Auditorium

Tenerife

Another iconic project by Santiago Calatrava, this time located between the Marine Park and the port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the Canary Islands.

The auditorium, which reminds you of a giant sea snail, has lovely, suggestive curves and it forms an extraordinary connection between the city and the ocean, creating an important urban milestone. It rises up from the base like a spectacular wave, with the roof 58 metres above the main auditorium, before it curves back downwards and narrows.
