What concrete is meant for…

Here some more pictures i made this holiday in Tenerife. The pictures arent that good but the building makes it up!It’s the nicest building i discovered this year!Its a little gasstation in Puerto de la Cruz made by Luis Cabrera. A local architect who was clearly inspired by Pier Luigi Nervi and Felix Candela. This exceptional building combines the two influences. The roof over the gasstation is a star or flower – shell protecting the cars from rain and giving shadow. Its made in the same way Candela made his shells.  The workplace under the gasstation has a ceiling with a concrete structure like Nervi made them. So beautiful these fluent lines! This is what conrete is meant for! Soon i’ll show more of his work…                                This is the building partly inspired me for the Velm-Masterplan that i made last year.  You can see it on my personal site.
