Another one from Valencia. This is the Hemisfèric, part of the City of Arts and Sciences designed by Santiago Calatrava. It was the first building in the complex and is shaped like a giant eye. It houses a planetarium and IMAX cinema, and it looks like something from another planet.
The walls are covered in trencadís, broken white tile, which picks up the light really well. In the afternoon the structure casts big curved shadows across the wall and the ground. I set up the frame and waited for someone to walk through it. This man looked down at just the right moment.
