The environmentally-efficient Ciutat d'Elx auditorium is a two-in-one wonder. Not only does it house an underground concert hall, it also features an outdoor auditorium on the roof, which also acts as a natural cooling system for the entire building due to its open-air concept.
Designed by Urbanarbolismo, the Ciutat d'Elx auditorium will be located in Elche, Spain. With a leafy, vertical garden on its exterior as well as glass-covered sides, this building attempts to blend in with its beautiful surroundings while letting in plenty of natural light. A great addition for this piece of land.
