Foreign Office Architecture: Alejandro Zaera-Polo + Farshid Moussavi,
Architects

Like the Yokohama Ferry Terminal also by Foreign
Office Architecture this intervention fuses landscape with sculpture
to make architecture: flowing and undulating tessellated strips run along
the seafront to make 'man-made dunes'.
Either side of the sweeping valleys are grassy areas with huge clumps
of bamboo. The tessellated discs are in two earthy colours - duller than
the visuals suggested sadly. When roughly flat they have unfortunate tarmac-like
infills and when almost vertical just gaps exposing rubble and earth.
Up close the Parc dels Auditoris was a let down (certainly after all the
hype of the project and of the architects) for me but the overall atmosphere
is quite good and no doubt brilliant for cyclists, skateboarders, etc.
