Tourist attraction
CaixaForum Sevilla
C. López Pintado, s/n, 41092 Sevilla
Cultural center largely buried underground, its entrance marked by a canopy of foamed metal.
This guide to CaixaForum Sevilla starts with the silver canopy over the entrance, made of metal foam, an aluminum and magnesium alloy shot through with air that engineers first developed to absorb crash impacts in cars. You'll hear how architect Guillermo Vazquez Consuegra borrowed that automotive material for this building inside the Torre Sevilla complex on the Isla de la Cartuja, which opened in March 2017 after an eighteen-million-euro conversion. The narration turns from that entrance canopy to what the conversion actually built, and how little of it you can see from where you stand.
