In Today's Culture Facilities various prestigious architects present their recent creations for art facilities, from the most innovative and avante-garde proposals, to those that attempt to adapt and create spaces through the conversion of existing structures. Projects include theMuseum Guggenheim in Bilbao by Frank Gehry, the Phaeno Science Center in Wolfsburg by Zaha Hadid, the MUSAC in Len by Mansilla + Tun Arquitectos and the Prncipe Felipe Science Museum in Valncia by Santiago Calatrava.
