Here's a black and white shot of the front (?) of the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía, one of a number of eye-catching building by Santiago Calatrava which stretch across the City of Arts and Sciences. Most of the buildings are surrounded by large reflecting pools and they all have large signs to make it clear which building is which.

From Wikipedia, "Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía (2005) – an opera house and performing arts centre dedicated to music and the performing arts. It is surrounded by 87,000 square meters (936,460sq ft) of landscape and water, as well as 10,000 square meters (107,639sq ft) of walking area. The Palau de Les Arts has four sections: the main hall, the master hall, the auditorium, and the Martin y Soler theatre. It holds many events such as opera, theatre and music in its auditoriums. Panoramic lifts and stairways connect platforms at different heights on the inside of the metallic frames of the building. The building has a metallic feather outer roof that is 230 meters long and 70 meters high. The building is supported by white concrete. Two laminated steel shells cover the building, weighing over 3,000 tons. These shells are 163 meters wide and 163 meters long."
