Moreover, titanium has a quite attractive natural silver color that can change depending on how the material is treated.<\/p>\n\n<p>We can find the first applications in this field in Japan back to the early '70s; in Europe the use of titanium in architecture can be attributed only to the 90's, a good example is the <strong>Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao<\/strong> (Spain).<\/p>\n\n<p>This museum was inaugurated in 1997 and it is a spectacular building which required <strong>60 tons of titanium<\/strong>. The choice of using the titanium can be considered  farsighted, especially based on a economical evaluation which doesn't contemplate just the initial cost of the material itself, but also <strong>its duration which is almost eternal<\/strong>.<\/p>","AxFaq":"*RECURSION*"}}}
