The greenhouses of western Almeria extend almost to the sea. To the east, Cabo de Gata serves as a backdrop to a rich landscape of boats. This project aims to mediate between the two worlds, greenhouses and boats. For professionals, the fish market is a process. For the visitor, these processes become a spectacle. At the constructive level, the building presents a triple reading: the ground floor is made of reinforced concrete. On the post-tensioned slab, rests the graceful upper floor, with metal structure boxes and light slabs. The whole is finished with the curved metal structure.
