The Botin Centre is conceived as a new space for art and culture. An open and relaxed center that will perform the function of enriching, both socially and culturally, the public spaces of Santander.
Located in the very heart of the city, the project is centered around three main actions:
Under the characteristically grey skies of Santander, the building and its light colored ceramic coating, the play of reflections, and the lightness of the cantilevered volumes bring vitality to the landscape, creating brand new settings of the bay.
A new space for art and culture; an open and relaxed center
