Meteorology Center

The Meteorology Center is located on the Paseo Maritimo - the waterfront promenade - which begins at the old harbor and continues through the 1992 Olympic Village and up the coast to the Northeast. The building is set back as a protection from the harshness of the maritime environment.
The concrete and brick building, that resembles a closed cylinder, has eight deep radial openings to accommodate terraces and small courtyards.
The central courtyard, nine meters in diameter, is open to the sky to let light into the inner rooms.
The building houses two departments; the Meteorological Department on part of the ground floor, on the third and fourth floor and on the rooftop garden with independent access via the intermediate floor which leads to the street via a curved stairway, and the Port Authority, on the lower floors, with independent access via the ground floor and directly over the dock.
