Review or Comment on this building/site

  1. on 20 May 2010 Rafael Cazorla

    The atrium, which Campo Baeza calls “an impluvium of light” is illuminated by large skylights. The skylights collect the bright Andalusian sunlight in a manner reminiscent of the old Roman impluviums which collected rainwater. Two beautifully alabaster-clad atrium walls help to filter horizontal natural light, and along with the impluviums are another direct reference to the rich architectural heritage of Roman Spain. Other images that the architect kept in mind when designing the building were the Cathedral of Granada and the Daily Mirror building in London built by Owen Williams, which influenced the Caja’s atmosphere for their masterful control of light and monumental scale.
