LOCATION: Barcelona, Spain BUILDER: COMSA SPECIAL ELEMENTS: Fachada
 Palau Sant Jordi, designed and produced by Japanese architect ArataIsozaki and Associates, is a powerful piece of architecture set onMontjuïc Hilland moored to the square or esplanade that spreads across from the easternwall of the stadium to the sports university.The square, designed by Correa-Milà-Buixadé-Margarit, has a 7.2 m.modulation. Similarly, the Palau takes up the square's 7.2 m. modulation.The relationship between the roof, the warped awnings and the façadeemerges through the large architectural railing with the 7.2 m. formatused ineach item. The railing is a conceptual and design gift: a warped handrailthat converses with the curves of the roof and the dome, picket-like wallswith circular gaps that defy the conventional realm of rationalism.The material is moulded and hewn reinforced cast stone containingencrusted red Pyrenees limestone with the appropriate grading and carefulaggregatedistribution across the surface.Sandblast treatment highlights the stable, natural tone of the aggregatethat changes with the light and the sun's position, converting this stoneinto architectural concrete.
