Precedent Analysis Teatre Nacional de Catalunya

National Theatre of Catalonia / Teatre Nacional de Catalunya


Coiro Mas

Since I have been having trouble finding a structure to focus on I decided to move from housing to public architecture.

The National Theatre of Catalonia really stood out to me because it has an exterior that resembles a Greek temple. The construction of this structure began in 1991 by Catalan postmodern architect Ricardo Bofill in Barcelona, Spain. I feel that the mix of modern architecture and the Greek columns give the structure an interesting presence that I would like to work with more.
