El Museo Guggenheim Bilbao es un museo de arte contemporáneo diseñado por el arquitecto canadiense Frank O. Gehry y localizado en Bilbao, España. Es uno de los museos pertenecientes a la Fundación Solomon R. Guggenheim.

Pero eso es tan solo una referencia bibliográfica. Lo cierto es que, aunque intuía que cuando por fin pudiese fotografiarlo iba a disfrutar mucho, el impacto que recibí al rodearlo, casi metro a metro, y todo lo que aprendí sobre fotografía arquitectónica mientras lo hacía, aún hoy me sorprenden cada vez que miro las imágenes que conseguí aquella mañana bilbaina.

Una contínua práctica de composición, encuadre y parámetros de cámara.

Pero además, ya en casa delante del ordenador, otra magnífica lección de edición, compleja pero apasionante cada segundo.

Habrá más, seguro...

La tour construite en 2014 atteint 193.05 metres (au point le plus haut) et elle est devenu le 4ième plus haut gratte-ciel en France.

Le bâtiment apparaît comme trois plans accolés ayant chacun une forme propre mais formant un tout.

Il est aussi le premier gratte-ciel en France à permettre l'accès à des loggias donnant sur l'extérieur (sur la face non visible) et l'accès à l'air libre par les fenêtres (fenêtres équipées de moucharabieh)

It reached a height of 193.05 metres (633.4 ft) (top of its spire) in January 2014 and became the fourth tallest skypscraper in France.

The building consists of three slices cut in different shapes joined together to form the building.

It is the first building where windows and loggias give access to fresh air through moucharabieh.
