| Abstract: |
Botín Art Center is a remarkable work of Engineering and Architecture design in the north of Spain, in the beautiful front seaside of Santander bay. This multipurpose building, signed by Renzo Piano, will be open to the public in 2017. The building is a real challenge from a structural point of view. Minimizing the number of supports on the ground floor and flying over the sea, the structure is designed in order to accommodate all the architectural requirements. Botín Art Center is composed by two building with a common underground basement and elevated footbridge connections. The West Building is conceived as a Gallery Exhibition Center with external dimensions of 80,0m*30,0m. The East Building is a multipurpose building of 48,0m*27,5m, with Educational areas and a Auditorium for conferences or music concerts. |
