![]() ![]() In the beginning it was a garden that tried to offer a sample of the native plants of the Valencian Community, although at the moment its east part is occupied by a discotheque lounge and the western part is used by a company that offers a attraction of dinosaurs for children. The structure is made with white trencadis, a typical style of architect Santiago Calatrava. ![]() L'Umbracle It stands out for being a modern construction from where you can see the entire complex of the City of Arts and Sciences and in which a series of parallel arcades, in the form of a shade, cover a long and narrow garden of palm trees and other Mediterranean plants. It is dedicated to music and the performing arts. The building has four large rooms: the Main Room, the Master Classroom, the Amphitheater and theChamber Theater. Palacio de las Artes Reina Sofía It is the opera of Valencia's theater and seat of the Orchestra of the Valencian Community. The programming offers topics of science and technology and changes periodically. L'Hemisfèric It is an IMAX cinema projection room, planetarium and a laser in the shape of an eye, with an area of approximately 13.000 m². ![]() Great importance is placed on the interactivity of temporary and permanent exhibitions (its motto is "Prohibited not to touch, not to feel, not to think"). ![]() It occupies about 40,000 m² spread over three floors. Its goal is to create interest in scientific and technological knowledge through fun and entertainment. Prince Felipe Museum of Science In a shape similar to the skeleton of a dinosaur, it is an interactive museum dedicated to science, technology and the environment. The Access Building, which welcomes visitors, and the Underwater Restaurant stand out because of their spectacular roofs designed by Félix Candela. In addition to this there is also the Dolphinarium, with 24 million liters of water and depth of 10,5 meters. Every buildin represtes one of the following aquatic environment: Mediterranean, Wetlands, Temperate and Tropical Seas, Oceans, Antarctic, Islands and the Red Sea. The planter's main marine ecosystems are all represented. The structural design of the roof was designed by engineers Alberto Domingo and Carlos Lázaro. The outside was designed in the form of a water lily by architect Adrián Peláez Coronado, who was born in Valencia. The Oceanographic It is the biggest oceanographic acquarium in Europe, with 110.000 square meters and 42 million liters of water. The City of Arts and Sciences consists of several buildings : Its construction is currently being finalized. It was opened on Apwith the opening of Hemisférico. These photographs are listed separately within the inventory.The City of Arts and Science (in Valencian and officially Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències ) i s an architectural, cultural and entertainment complex located at the end of the old Turia riverbed, d esigned by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela, in association with the engineers responsible for the structural design of the Oceanographic Alberto Domingo and Carlos Lázaro. A second subseries of photographs relate to the photographs used in the publication by Colin Faber. The photographs too show his work under construction and generally not the completed work. The drawings in the archive document the extent of his participation in the design of the building and are generally not complete construction sets (no electrical, plumbing, etc.). As a result he did not keep files on a project basis but used his correspondence files to track his business. His role in architectural projects focused on the enclosure of the buildings. The organization of Candela's files is unusual and reflects the particular type of architectural practice he developed. As his reputation grew on the global stage, he was brought into projects as a structural consultant. In Mexico he functioned both as designer and "master builder" of complex concrete structures, especially thin concrete shell structures, many times involving double curvature (hyperbolic paraboloid). Candela's practice developed in two ways. ![]()
