Composition Castelar
The elegant simplicity of the Torre Castelar's design provide a myriad of opportunities for great images. This slightly more complex, quartered composition incorporates all three of the building's major elements: tower, base, and plinth, set against a graphic sky.
Torre Castelar Envisioned as a kind of abstract glass lantern floating in the air several meters above a travertine podium, the office floors hang on a steel grid from an L-shaped concrete core sitting at the back. Located on the Paseo de la Castellana, Madrid's most prestigious avenue, the building resembles a minimalist sculpture, the abstract glass volume presenting as a pure geometric form devoid of scale. 1986; Rafael de la-Hoz, Gerardo Olivares, architects.
