This documentary is a testimony of the construction of a very special building, the Botin Center for Arts & Culture, from its foundation to its inauguration in the bay of Santander, in the North of Spain.


The architect, a contemporary master, Renzo Piano. The filmmaker, another contemporary master, Carlos Saura. Saura will show us the magic around the conception of such a colossal building through Renzo Piano’s work. We will see how these kinds of works evolve over time, and how they modify the soul of a city forever.


How does an architect like Renzo Piano live the experience of designing and building a huge center like this? How do the people of Santander accept this change in the bay of their city? Whose idea was it to build this cultural centre? What is the objective of the Botin Foundation?
