+...TeNeRiFe EsPaCiO dE LaS ArTeS...+











These photo set of the latest Herzog & de Meuron building
by architecture photographer Iwan Baan.

Located in Spain, the Espacio de las Artes at Santa Cruz, Tenerife. With over 20,622 sqm, the building includes a public library, a contemporary art museum, the Photography Centre of the Tenerife Island, a store, a cafe/restaurant and several public use spaces for the community.

The building is a long volume intersected by a ramp that generates a triangular plaza. Along the facade, over 1,200 openings in 720 different shapes filter the natural light to the inside, while generating an amazing view during night.

During the opening, Jaques Herzog said that this building will change the image of Tenerife, and along with the Calatrava auditorium will turn the city into a cultural focus.
