Norman Foster's Pavilion of Mirrors

Norman Foster's Mirrored Awning, Norman Foster's Vieux Port Pavilion
France, Marseille
The Norman Foster Pavilion of Mirrors is located on the pier in Old Port of Marseille. It opened in 2013 when Marseille was elected European Capital of Culture.
The pavilion is a 46m x 22m gleaming polished steel structure that reflects the sidewalk of the harbour. It is intended for theatrical performances, fairs and other cultural events. But many Marseillais and tourists here just love to walk.

The Mirror Pavilion on Marseille's Marina is a 46m by 22m structure made of polished stainless steel that reflects the pedestrian area of ​ ​ the harbour. The authors of the project say that this steel structure almost does not invade the urban landscape, because from a distance it seems to be only a silvery line on the horizon. But when a person is under a mirrored roof, he becomes both a spectator and part of the urban landscape. From myself I will add one more undoubted plus - on a hot summer day, the pavilion gives a saving shadow : ).
