Guggenheim Museum Bilbao Address Abandoibarra Etorbidea 2 48001 Bilbao Spain http://www.guggenheim-bilbao.es/ . The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is one of the most important ingredients in the plan to redevelop the city of Bilbao. The plan, involving a number of major projects conceived by some of the world's most prestigious architects, includes the work now in progress to increase operational capacity at the city's port, the revamping of the city's airport, a new Conference and Performing Arts Center, the construction of a metropolitan railway and a new footbridge crossing the river at Uribitarte. The unique Museum is built on a 32,500 square meter site in the center of Bilbao. On one side it runs down to the waterside of the Nervión River, 16 meters below the level of the rest of the city of Bilbao. One end is pierced through by the huge Puente de La Salve, one of the main access routes into the city. The building itself is an extraordinary combination of interconnecting shapes. Orthogonal blocks in limestone contrast with curved and bent forms covered in titanium. . Project is public! . Completion 10-1997 Architect Client Gehry Partners Solomon R.

The curved glassy structures - or Fosteritos - that announce the inner-city Line 1 stations at street level are as unique to Bilbao as the Art Nouveau Metro entrances are to Paris, their shape evocative of inclined movement and generated by the profile of the tunnels themselves. The canopies admit natural light by day, and are illuminated at night, forming welcoming beacons in the streetscape. On Line 2, where deep-cut stations made it impossible to use escalators, banks of large-capacity lifts are grouped in threes to create iconic and easily recognisable entrance points.

Zubizuri bridge Address Pasarela Zubi Zuri Bilbao Spain . The Zubizuri (Basque for "white bridge"), also called the Campo Volantin Bridge or Puente del Campo Volantin, is a tied arch footbridge across the Nervion River in Bilbao, linking the Campo Volantin right bank and Uribitarte left bank of the river. The design consists of an inclined structural steel arch linking two platforms, with access ramps and stairways on both banks. . photo: H.J. Imhoff Project is public! .

Sondika Airport Address Errementeri Kalea E- 48180 Bilbao Spain http://www.airport-technology.com/projects/bilbao/ . The steel and concrete structure, nicknamed La Paloma (the Dove) because of its resemblance to a giant bird about to take flight, is integrated into the hilly green landscape in the Txoriherri Valley in close proximity to Bilbao. The aluminium skin of the Central Terminal sweeps across the 140 meter long terminal entry, providing cover for multiple levels of arrival and departure. The layout was designed to limit the impact of auxiliary buildings on the vista of the main building. An elegant four-storey parking structure, with a skylit walkway leading to the Terminal Building, is tucked into a grassy embankment. photo: Dirk Verwoerd . Project is public! . . . . .

Offices Osakidetza Address Calle Licenciado Poza Bilbao Spain . The river of Bilbao is not the only area where urban renewal is taking place. In the center of the old town, the Basque Government has commissioned the young Basque architect Juan Coll-Barreu to design a 'vital' building, dominantly present on the corner of Calle Licenciado Poza with La Alameda de Rekalde. The works of this architect are characterized by their adaptive nature, like a glove fits to a hand. All conditions and circumstances are taken into account: first the urban context, the client's wishes, the functions of the building, the climate, and finally the project itself. After winning the design competition, this was the first project for him in a complex urban situation: 'In this design process, everything was a challenge'. The building is bold and transparent, to express the healty image of Bilbao, and the vital works of its occupants: the Department of Public Health. A double glazed facade functions as a warm blanket in the winter, and a natural membrane in summer. photo: Dirk Verwoerd . Project is not public! .

Housing at Ortutxueta Address Calle Ortutxueta 2 48006 Bilbao Spain . This proposal, winner of the competition Europan IV, involves the recovery of the lands of a disused mine next to a very densely populated working class neighbourhood. It is part of a zoning operation of the authors who then afterwards break up into different tasks, according to the division of the plot. This intervention is very directly connected to the project of the adjacent plot, which is the one that can hold the highest population density. The project is adapted to the slope and creates a block with no access to traffic. On this block, the buildings wind over a well-cared collective space. It tries a type of row house which also takes advantage of the difference in elevation to regulate the heights and places emphasis on the decks which, in this case, become a fifth spectacular façade. The scarce variety of types of homes is the least notable aspect. . Project is not public! . . . . . . Completion Floor area/size 2006 7567 m² Architect Client Belzunce, D.Mauriño, G.

University Library Deusto Address Avda. de las Universidades 24 48007 Bilbao Spain http://www.biblioteca.deusto.es/ . The new Library of the University of Deusto is open to students, researchers, institutions and companies worldwide. It seeks to pursue pedagogical innovation, while at the same time offering a dynamic and flexible architectural environment, in accordance with the new European Space for Higher Education. In this regard, the open access facilities have been conceived as a space where users may find the best conditions for learning and research. The development of the library must be seen in context of the wide range of actions carried out by Bilbao Town Council in the last few years, which seeks to consolidate Bilbao as a city of knowledge. The deep changes that this city has undergone have facilitated, among other things, the expansion of university campuses in the city centre, as in the case of the new library. The building is divided into five floors above ground and another five underground, all equipped with modern electronic resources. . Project is public! . . . . . . .

Regional Library of Bizkaia Address Diputación 7 48008 Bilbao Spain http://www.bizkaia.net/Home2/Temas/DetalleTema.asp?Tem _Codigo=294 . The origins of the Regional Library of Bizkaia can be found in the personal library of Fidel de Sagarminaga, a politician, writer and owner of an outstanding library of nearly 12,000 titles, on Basque themes. The Library, bursting at the seams due to lack of space, and outdated in its services, underwent a new overhaul, extension and conversion of the physical space in the 1980's; however, the continuous growth of the rich bibliographical and newspaper collections once again pushed the facility to the limit of its capacity. As a consequence, an ambitious project for the extension and upgrading of the building was undertaken under the direction of IMB architects (Gloria Iriarte, Eduardo Múgica and Agustín de la Brena). The result was a Library adapted to the cultural reality of Bizkaia, providing new services to meet the challenges posed by the society of the 21st century. Opened after four years of construction, while at the same time, the building was never closed from the public. photo: Hans Brinker . Project is public! .

Palacio Euskalduna Address Avda. Abandoibarra 4 48011 Bilbao Spain http://www.euskalduna.net/ . Designed by architects Federico Soriano and Dolores Palacios as a vessel permanently under construction that stands in a dock on the site of the former Euskalduna Shipyard, the Conference Centre received the 2001 Enric Miralles award at the 6th Biennial of Spanish Architecture.

La Peña Multi-Sport Pavillion Address Calle Lekanda 2 48003 Bilbao Spain . The lot for this project is a reduced and irregular piece of terrain, almost residual, that opens a way between the rear and unaligned façades of neighbouring housing and the almost vertical wall of a natural hillside. A new commuter train station and the metallic structure of the existent pediment determine the boundaries of the lot and generate different slopes. The sports complex is a uneven volume that complies with multiple conditions that coexist in the lot. A semi-transparent fencing of black concrete and glass tries to respond to the different situations generated between the transforming residential city and natural hillside profoundly affected by industrialization (text from website architects). . photo: Aleix Bagué Project is public! .

Bilbao Research and Administration Building Address Ibaizabal Bidea 48170 Bilbao Spain . This complex on the outskirts of Bilbao houses 40000 m2 of work area and almost 1000 m2 of parking spaces in a gently sloping green field site. The new building tries to retain the atmosphere of the landscape comprising two rolling hills against a background of low mountains. The volume is divided into three elongated prisms, two glazed and the other one made out of granite and concrete. These were placed upon the different levels of the hill. A fourth cubic block, also glazed, forms a square with the stone one that opens up onto de widest valley. The glass façades draw in the humid and misty landscape typical of the region. It was intended that the complex retained a recognizable scale despite its size, and that each working space should posess an understandable relationship with the rest of the building and the surroundings (text from website architects). photo: Aleix Bagué .

Bilbao Sports Centre New Façade Address Alameda Recalde 28 48009 Bilbao Spain . The oldest and elitist Sports Club of Bilbao decided to implement a new façade to change its appearance and image in the city. The design was chosen by the architects and members of the club after a competition between some selected young architects in the city was held. The façade has been conceived as a folly of some slides of glass, with a gentle gesture of tilting each floor. . Project is public! . . . . .
