The Canòdrom Meridiana is a former greyhound racing venue transformed into a key example of modern rationalism in Barcelona. In contrast to the heavy post-war constructions, it features a steel framework that imparts a light, almost floating appearance. Its parabolic plan and suspended roof enhance this sense of movement. The ensemble is completed by a system of vertical concrete sunshades that filter the light and create a visual rhythm that is both functional and expressive.
This is good to know
After the closure of the greyhound track in 2006, the building was restored (preserving its original structure) and converted into a centre for digital culture.
