Description
|
The Colon Tower has become an architectural
icon to Barcelona. The tower consists of a
horizontal podium for parking, a 22 story
office tower, and a trapezoidal crown.
The architects add that, "... play in
axes, mass, and geometry mitigate
concrete’s material severity. The tower’s
interiors highlight austerity and
perspectival play."
