Torres de Satélite
Barragán and Goeritz built these to be read from a moving car — the towers shift and overlap as you pass, animating at speed. On foot they just loom; the design is about motion.
Five triangular concrete towers, up to fifty meters tall, striped in red, blue, yellow and white — Barragán and Goeritz's gateway to a 1950s suburb. Free.
