The Auditorio de Tenerife "Adán Martín"〔(Bienvenidos al Auditorio de Tenerife "Adán Martín" )〕〔(El Cabildo inicia los trámites para denominar al Auditorio de Tenerife "Auditorio de Tenerife Adán Martín" )〕〔(La Sinfónica de Tenerife y Ainhoa Arteta ofrecen este jueves un concierto homenaje al expresidente canario Adán Martín )〕 (formerly named, but still commonly referred to as, Auditorio de Tenerife), was designed by architect Santiago Calatrava Valls. It is located on the Avenue of the Constitution in the Canarian capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), and next to the Atlantic Ocean in the southern part of Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Construction began in 1997 and was completed in 2003. The auditorium was inaugurated on 26 September of that year with the presence of Felipe de Borbón, Prince of Asturias, and was later visited by former U.S. President Bill Clinton. The building is framed within the tenets of late-modern architecture of the late 20th century. The majestic profile of the auditorium has become an architectural symbol of the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the island of Tenerife and the Canary Islands.〔(Auditorio de Tenerife (in Spanish) )〕 It is also regarded as the finest modern building in the Canary Islands〔(Auditorio Tenerife, information (in Spanish) )〕 and one of the most emblematic buildings of Spanish architecture. In March 2008, it was included by the post office in a set of six stamps (Correos) depicting the most emblematic works of Spanish architecture.〔(Correos issued six emblematic works of Spanish architecture and includes the Auditorio de Tenerife (in Spanish) )〕 In 2011, the image of the Tenerife Auditorium was included in a series of commemorative coins of 5 euros, which displayed the most emblematic symbols of several Spanish cities.〔(Moneda conmemorativa del Auditorio de Tenerife. Año 2011. )〕 It is one of the major attractions of Tenerife and home to the Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife (''Tenerife Symphony Orchestra''). ==History== As early as 1970, there was agreement that the creation of an auditorium for the islands should proceed. The location in the El Ramonal was approved in 1977. In 1978 design proposals were solicited for consideration. The project agreed to appoint the architect Antonio Fernández Alba. Later, in 1985, the location of the auditorium was moved to El Chapatal.〔(La construcción del Auditorio de Tenerife, año a año y paso a paso )〕 In 1987, the final design of Antonio Fernández Alba, with collaboration of Vicente Saavedra and Javier Díaz Llanos are unveiled. However soon after, there is a conceptual shift about the type of building and the government abandons the project. In 1989, the government enters into discussion with the architect Santiago Calatrava Valls, who becomes the project architect. In 1991, Calatrava publicly presented his design. At the time the building was to be located at the end of Avenida Tres de Mayo. In 1992 the government created the Commission for Supervision and Control for the construction of the auditorium. In 1996, the Commission changed the location to the Castillo de San Juan Bautista, located by the sea.〔 Groundbreaking and construction finally began in 1997, twenty years after the initial approval. During 2001 the 17 larger metal panels which form the exterior were installed. In 2002, the concrete and the white exterior trencadis plaster work was completed. In 1997, they started the earth moving works at the final location. Throughout the year 2001, 17 metal parts are placed forming the jacket. In 2002, the exterior concrete, trencadis, and the interior were completed.〔 Much of the surface is covered with white trecadis, with colorful trecadis as decorative elements in the retaining walls of the plaza the building stands on. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Auditorio de Tenerife」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
