Peix d'Or

The Peix d'Or, or "Golden Fish" in English, is a striking work of art on Barcelona's beachfront promenade, built as part of the 1992 Olympic Games. Designed by the Canadian architect Frank Gehry, the structure consists of a metal framework whose appearance changes with the position of the sun and the intensity of the light. It is considered the first structure designed with CATIA, a CAD system borrowed from aircraft engineering, since its non-Euclidean geometry could not have been calculated using conventional methods. Here you can experience a one-of-a-kind architectural sculpture that also lends its name to the local ultimate frisbee team, the Peixets.
