America's Cup Building, Modern architectural structure in Valencia Port, Spain
The America's Cup Building features four stacked concrete platforms with horizontal planes that extend outward, creating extensive viewing areas toward the Mediterranean Sea.
David Chipperfield Architects completed this 10,000-square-meter structure in 2006 to serve as the central venue for the 2007 America's Cup sailing competition.
The name Veles e Vents references a medieval poem about wind forces by Valencian writer Ausiàs March, connecting maritime heritage with contemporary architecture.
The ground floor contains restaurants and bars facing the canal, while the upper levels provide exclusive spaces for VIP guests and America's Cup management teams.
The building incorporates Brazilian timber decking and white-painted steel elements across its four floors, with sixty percent of spaces dedicated to outdoor viewing areas.
