Science Museum Príncipe Felipe in València

Covering 41,000 square meters and resembling a dinosaur skeleton the longitudinal building, with the repetition of the modular, transversal sections along the whole length of the site, is a spacial tour de force. The symmetrical ends of the building are braced firmly by triangulated structures which also mark the entrances. The white supporting concrete framework of the south-facing facade, is filled with glass. The north facade is a glass and steel screen that forms a continuos curtain along the full length of the building. This is a modular development of 104 meters width and 241 meters in length. The 40 meter high north hall has the proportions of a soaring Gothic cathedral nave with flying ribs and a waving glass wall running the full length of the building.
