The Tank, cultural space

El Tanque Cultural Space, located in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, is a repurposed oil storage tank transformed into a cultural venue in 1997. The project, led by architect Fernando Menis, preserved the tank's industrial character while adapting it for artistic exhibitions and performances. Recycled materials from the dismantled refinery were incorporated into the design, including swing doors and lighting towers. The cylindrical structure offers a unique multifunctional space for various cultural activities. (arquitecturaviva.com)
