The arts center is being built on the seaward edge of the old town next to a dry riverbed.
The cultural facilities of the TEA are grouped around a pathway that widens to form a plaza at the heart of the building and creates a direct link between the old town and the coast.
A photograph of water is enlarged to form an abstract pattern.
Numerous full-scale concrete models serve to test technical feasibility, density and distribution of negative forms, color of concrete, edges, and strength of reinforcement.
Library, plaza, courtyards, galleries: floor plans of the first and second floors, longitudinal and cross sections.
Even while still under construction, the building reveals its remarkable spatial diversity and detailing, such as the openings.
The dark-colored library wall facing the river with its many seemingly aleatory apertures.
Library, foyer, staircase and galleries still under construction.
