The titanium panels of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao were attached using a combination of adhesive and mechanical fasteners. The design involved a unique, interlocking system that allowed the panels to be affixed securely to the building's underlying structure. This approach ensured both aesthetic continuity and durability, contributing to the museum's iconic, sculptural appearance. The titanium's reflective quality also plays a significant role in the building's visual impact, changing with the light throughout the day.
Guggenheim Museum Bilbao was created on 1997-10-18.
