Three structures at the City of Arts and Sciences. The L'Umbracle on the left, the L'Hemisfèric on the right and the El Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía in the centre. These buildings were designed by the Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava in 1996.

Kofelsite from the Holocene of Austria. (~4.3 centimeters across)
Kofelsite (also spelled “koefelsite” and “köfelsite”) somewhat resembles pumice, a frothy-textured volcanic rock. Samples are often called “pumice of Köfels”. They date to about 7815 B.C. (± 100 years) (near-earliest Holocene). The specific origin of kofelsite rocks is uncertain and debated. The rocks are found in a landslide deposit in western Austria. It has been suggested that the landslide was impact-triggered. If so, kofelsites in the landslide deposit may be impactites (fused rocks from the heat of an impact). It's now known that heating along the basal surface of active landslides can produce fused, glassy rocks called frictionites.
Locality: Köfels Structure (possibly an impact-generated landslide deposit and scar), just east of the town of Köfels & just west of the town of Niederthai, Ötz Valley (Ötztal), Tyrolia (Tirol Province), western Austria
