The Territorial Meteorological Centre of Catalonia is a building constructed for the 1992 Olympic Games in the Olympic Village. It is conceived as a circular volume of five storeys that responds with its own logic to its coastal surroundings. The façade is divided into two parts: a base of exposed concrete and upper levels clad in marble. At its centre, a circular courtyard nine metres in diameter organises the light, circulation, and internal life of the building.

His architect, Álvaro Siza, was awarded the Pritzker Prize in the same year the building was completed, 1992.
