Auditorium and Convention Centre of Aragon expo 2008
The new Auditorium and Convention Centre in the Expo 2008 ground portrays a fractional and varied profile – ascending and descending – in dialogue with the different spaces housed in its interior and manifesting expressively the presence of natural light and the meeting point of the building with the ground. Like a white shining cover, a great roof gently envelopes the different structures sheltering a large interior space –fluid and continuous– which demonstrates the public and institutional character of its purpose. Geometry, structure and construction are part of this proposal for a single combined concept. The brilliance and clarity of the image of the building which will dominate during the day will have its counterpoint at night when the Convention Centre will appear as a landscape of solid light emerging from the ground: the metaphor of an intangible condition which – perhaps unconsciously – the architects imagined from the beginning for this building.
