History
In a call restricted to a small number of design studios, the innovative proposal presented by architect Anton Koolhaas was the winner.
The concept of a progressively growing dock pleased the corporation’s board of directors. They had expanded numerous locations over the past decade and the proposal of an Involute allowed them to centralize all the company’s staff.
The only drawback to the design was the absence of a terrace-heliport while the involute continued to grow. For the time being, this heliport is attached to the tower at ground level, near the AeroBus station provided by the City Council of Barcelona-Civitas to ensure employees at the building are connected.
It is estimated that before reaching the height of 1km, limited by the size of its foundations, the tower will be crowned with the requested aerial installation.
