Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff.
For the exterior of the building, 4,500 tonnes of structural steel was clad in 2,000 tonnes of recycled Welsh slate, reclaimed from waste spoils. The striking bilingual inscription on the front of the building: In These Stones, Horizons Sing was composed by the former National Poet of Wales, Gwyneth Lewis.

Really fantastic is the facade of this splendid theater, home to an important symphony orchestra. The framing and the evening light enhance its grandeur.

Wow! What a striking façade that makes quite an impact come twilight time! I love the welcoming, warm light that emanates from the entrance. Another great take on the weekly prompt.
