Musical Studies Centre

This, and the adjacent Centre for Advanced Studies (whatever they are), are quite exceptional examples of almost perfect cubes. Whilst that might sound a trifle boring as architectural concepts go, their deceptive simplicity belies the complexity of incorporating a functional building within such a pure geometric form. For, as you walk around this elementary shape, no ugly, botched entrances nor clumsy fenestration detracts from the purity of the cube. Very subtle, very sculptural. Architect: Anton Garcia Abril 2004
