Modern Culture Temples

Description

Almost every country sets great store by galleries and venues for cultural events. Their architecture is meant to be attractive and imaginative, and sustainability is becoming increasingly important as well. This report presents innovative building projects from three countries: renovating an old national library building in Saudi Arabia; cooling a new opera house with seawater in China; and a new museum and community center in Spain is the world's largest wooden structure.
