Torre Glòries (Torre Agbar)
I read this building as a landscape object, not an urban one. It belongs to no street, answers no corner. At dusk when the louvres go warm, it becomes a lantern. That redeems it.
Jean Nouvel's 2005 bullet-shaped tower at Plaça de les Glòries. A surface building — the double-skin louvre facade is the whole argument.
