Pilkington Optiwhite™

Description
The Barcelona Exhibition Building was designed by Japanese architect Toyo Ito. With a clear predominance of curved shapes and a large curved glass front, it remains true to the creative design style of Ito; who in his own words, seeks to ‘merge the virtual with the physical’.

Pilkington Optiwhite™ was the obvious choice of glass for both the interior and exterior, due to its excellent light transmission and attractive appearance. The building is now a reference of modern architecture in Barcelona, one of the most international cities in the world.
