Valencia, Spain

A cultural and architectural complex located at the southeast end of Valencia’s former Turia riverbed, the City of Arts and Sciences presents a collection of futuristic buildings designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela. The site includes structures such as an opera house, a science museum, an IMAX cinema, and an oceanographic park, each characterized by sleek, white forms and innovative engineering.

This complex serves as a hub for scientific and artistic activities, with spaces dedicated to exhibitions, performances, and educational programs. The surrounding landscaped areas feature water pools and walkways that complement the modern architecture, creating a distinct contrast with the city’s historic center.
