The City of Arts and Sciences is an entertainment and educational complex that is an amazing work of craftsmanship and design. Architect Santiago Calatrava primarily designed this gorgeous project. Laminate glass is widely used not just in the grand windows and ceilings but also found in the planetarium’s floor. The glass floors are four ply laminated glass that consist of acid etched, anti-slip, 6mm tempered glass on the top with three 10 mm layers of glass. This keeps right in line with the modern design of the building.

The City of Arts and Sciences features an awe-inspiring globe planetarium, that has the appearance of a large eye reflecting off the water, which houses an Imax theater. Also found in the structure is the Valencia aquarium and the Principe Felipe Museum. The building has a approximate surface of 40,000 square meters and it has 3 floors of 8000 square meters each. This project was a collaboration of technology, creativeness, and stunning architecture. See more photos and find out more about the City of Arts and Sciences at Valencia-Valencia.
