El Espacio Cultural El Tanque, located at Vía de Penetración, 38003 Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, is a cultural center housed within a repurposed oil storage tank. Designed by Fernando Menis and completed in 1997, the project transformed the cylindrical structure into a versatile venue for contemporary art exhibitions and performances. The design preserved the tank's industrial character, incorporating recycled materials from the adjacent decommissioned refinery. Notably, the interior features a reverberation time of 17 seconds, making it ideal for experimental music and sound art. (cultura.icdcultural.org)
