Porta Fira, Barcelona Spain

Toyo Ito designed the Ampliación de la Fira de Barcelona on montjuïc hill in Bercelona, on Plaza Europa. The masterplan includes 9 pavilions and two hotel and office buildings. The project emphasizes sustainability, with water recycling and passive solar devices. The forms are themselves organic, inspired by Guadi.

Ito’s extension opened in 2009.
