Spain - Barcelona - MACBA shapes

Oh, go on then, here's a couple more Barcelona photos as you all seemed to like yesterdays Forum upload so much.

 

This is a semi abstract composition of one of my favourite Barcelona buildings by one of my favourite Architects. MACBA, by Richard Meier, is tucked away in the Raval and is partly credited for the regeneration of a formerly run-down area of Barcelona.

 

From Wikipedia : "The Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, or MACBA) is situated in the Plaça dels Àngels, in El Raval, Ciutat Vella, Barcelona, Spain.

 

It was designed by Richard Meier & Partners (1987-1995). The building’s architectural style has strong references to Modernism. This large (120 by 35 meters) white building has much of its southern elevation glazed, providing the visitor with views across the plaza, and allowing natural light into the interior. It includes a central library, specialized in art books and publications."
