At the Palau de les Arts, the building's two great shells never quite touch — a seam runs between them, here resolving into a sliver of black where the structure simply stops. The nearer shell rises in one long, unbroken curve, its surface a fine net of broken white tile that reads, from this distance, as texture rather than ceramic. Through the gap, a single warm beam crosses the frame on the diagonal, the only straight line in a building built almost entirely out of curves. Seen this way, stripped of scale, the Palau looks less like an opera house than like a piece of marine architecture: a hull, a sail, something built to move.
