spanish practice arquitecturia has recently completed 'museo dell'energia', a museum dedicated to the education of diverse
energy sources located ascó within the tarragona region of catalonia, spain. two juxtaposed concave facades directs attention
towards the adjacent ebro river and encompassing mediterranean landscape. the rectilinear elevations are oriented to screen
the industrial areas of the nearby urban center and intersecting voids create open air enclosures accessible from the galleries.
framed with a low partition at the ground level, the facade overhangs to frame views of the vegetated courtyard against the sky.

polycarbonate panels bound the curving entry facades which define two outdoor plazas while the linear elevations are clad with
a repeated pattern of parallel steel striations. a black and white color scheme proceeds to the interior providing visitors with a
seamless transition from the exterior. the building's form receives patrons and guides movement into gallery spaces which lead
to unveil the surrounding grounds upon traversing the exhibitions.
