An extraordinary piece of construction from architectural innovators Herzog & de Meuron, the CaixaForum is a sponsored arts foundation and cultural centre in Madrid from one of Spain’s leading banks. The intriguing building, designed to mirror the roofscape of the surrounding buildings, houses several exhibition floors, which host a constantly changing selection of temporary shows.

The cantileverd exterior of the CaixaForum gives the outward appearance a feeling of ethereal lightness that defies the laws of gravity and sucks aesthetes into the impressive minimally modern internal space. The CaixaForum is as much a piece of art as the works housed inside.
