Scotland - Glasgow - Scottish Hydro Arena 02

Not the most interesting Foster + Partners building in my opinion, but the structure does have a certain elegance. I didn't get to see it at night but I imagine it looks more exciting when in use and the building glows from within.

From Wikipedia : "The distinctive elliptical sloping shape of The SSE Hydro was inspired by ancient Greek and Roman Amphitheaters. This shape offers the optimum balance of viewing angle and distance from the stage. The unique facade of the SSE Hydro, made up of pneumatic translucent cushions, has been made possible by using a special film originally developed for the space industry. This will allow natural light to illuminate the foyers during the day and the arena to ‘glow’ at night. "
