Typical Richard Meier building
with rectilinear elements expressed in his trademark white metal panels
and key elements expressed in white render as organic forms in plan. Meier
has created lyrical forms here and the building appears successful when
view from many angles.
It could be argued that Richard Meier should have engaged more with the
context of Barcelona architecture as the building appears on every level
to be similar to ones he´s designed for other cities. However the
pure whiteness is a joy to behold in the scruffy backlands off La Rambla
and the importance of the building suggests breaking the texture of Barcelona
is appropriate.
