Additional information Integrating human being and architecture as parts of an identified whole with nature is how Toyo Ito would like projects to be perceived as the extension of the precincts of Gran Via de Fira de Barcelona, which included the new access hall, pavilions 1, 5, 7 and 8, the footbridge that goes through and connects all the buildings of the complex, the auditorium (currently in process of construction together with pavilions 5 and 7) and the Towers Porta Fira at the Plaza Europa, about to be concluded.
Industrial design prototypes are added to this documentation, as a result of the collaboration of Toyo Ito with several Spanish companies, and other projects that are in process of production, such as those of the underground stations Fira 2 (L'Hospitalet) and Foc-Cisell (Barcelona), the façade of the building of appartments Suites Avenue (Barcelona), the Park of Relaxation (Torrevieja) and the Park of Gavia (Madrid).
