The Agbar Tower is the latest symbol to mark the Barcelona skyline. It is an emblematic building, competing in height with the two towers in the Olympic Port, that has caught everyone’s attention.
The tower is the work of French architect Jean Nouvel. It measures 142 metres in height and consists of 35 floors and 4 subterranean levels. Its design combines a number of different architectural concepts, resulting in a surprising structure built with reinforced concrete, covered with a facade of glass and over 4,400 cut out window openings. The tower’s appearance is so radically different from that of the surrounding buildings that its visual impact is already being compared to that of the Sagrada Familia.
In the beginning, the tower’s peculiar form created an uproar and, as is commonplace with anything innovative, was met with a lot of resistance and opposition. Nowadays, Barcelona’s citizens have grown accustomed to the sight of its strange shape towering over the Plaza de las Glories Catalana, and its presence is no longer decried or questioned.
It is yet another example of the urban transformation the city is experiencing as it tranforms former industrial zones into modern office and business areas.
