barozzi veiga completes white auditorium in aguilas, spain
a conference center constructed in aguilas, spain seeks to provide a natural and elegant response to the building’s environment. ‘auditorio y palacio de congresos’, designed by barozzi veiga, features a large auditorium as well as smaller theaters and other ancillary facilities. the resulting structure, a large white cubic volume, is a simple, yet robust solution shaped by its internal functions.

elevations facing the town are disciplined and ordered, reflecting the more rigid and formal nature of the urban landscape, while large concave façades oriented towards the coastline respond to the more natural and fluid features associated with the region’s topography. consequently, the project is able to respect its environment whilst contributing towards it.
