Inspired by the works exhibited during the '90s at the Tate Gallery inLondon, by the sculptor of the British Land Art movement, Richard Long. One of
our most important and influential contemporary architects and first Spanish
Pritzker Prize winner (1996), José Rafael Moneo Vallés devised one of the most
original and avant-garde enclosures of the architecture of the time. This is
none other than the one we can see in the Kursaal auditorium in San Sebastián.

To solve this enclosure, an icon of modern Spanish architecture, Moneo
devised and helped to develop in the factory, some prefabricated reinforced
concrete panels, which were covered on their surface by splits of grey Phyllite
Jbernardos, sawn and flamed, formed precast blocks of more than 2 × 1 meters.

These splits were arranged in each panel, similar to the works of the
Bristol artist. As you can see in the famous auditorium, located in the capital
of San Sebastian, next to Zurriola beach and the Urumea river.
