Calatrava designed the Museu de les Ciències around five tree-shaped piers, each one forking upward from a single trunk into the arms that carry the museum's aluminum roof — and from below, walking its 220-meter length, the effect is rhythmic, almost musical, the same fork repeating like a refrain. Three are visible here, their white concrete catching hard Valencian light against a paler wall behind, while the dark ladder of roof arches beneath them recedes into near-total shadow. No two piers carry quite the same shadow, since the sun moves and the building doesn't, but the geometry itself never varies. It is repetition used the way it's used in music: not as decoration, but as structure.
