Caixa Forum StairCase...

I'm sorry if I'm not posting every day but work is really "killing me" lately... I hope to get back to normal really soon... :-)
I leave you with a Caixa Forum Interior, the big staircase... It reminds me some of Escher drawings!... what do you think?!?... I'll try to post some sky watch tomorrow...

Caixa Forum

Some of the best things Madrid as to offer are Museums, and contemporary architecture. Here is an example of both together, the Caixa Forum by Herzog and DeMeuron... One of the most recent cultural spaces on Spain's Capital; sure is a wonderful place to pass Sunday afternoon...

Caixa Forum Building...

We have a new building in Madrid; the Caixa Forum designed by the famous Swiss architects Herzog & DeMeuron…

It’s fundamentally a temporary expositions building, with conference rooms, library and cafeteria (on the last floor)… The building conserves the volume of the old ‘Mediodía’ electric station; the existing brick volume was literally raised from the ground to permit the entrance in the building and enlarged by a new rusty steel volume on the top…

The building is situated in paseo del Prado in a really privileged position, near to Atocha station, the Prado museum and the Reina Sofia art center museum… u cant miss it…

The vertical garden is the work of Patrick Blanc.
