at_full_speed August 30th, 2005, 03:33 AM Wow! What an original tower! I like it. :applause:
Dreamliner August 30th, 2005, 04:06 AM Look's like someone has penis envy....
habitat67 August 30th, 2005, 05:11 AM Was in BCN in April -- stayed at the Barcelona Arts -- could not believe that it's the tallest in Spain?! Loved seeing Agbar from various points in the city -- so beautiful to look at both Agbar and Sagrada familia from the top of Casa Mila... they compliment one another perfectly.
Hush August 30th, 2005, 01:58 PM The current tallest building in Spain is "Hotel Bali" in Benidorm with 170m aproximately.
Could you say anything different about the tower??? Everybody know that it look likes a penis...it's not necesary repeat it every time ;)
Sorry for my english.
TheSkyIsTheLimit August 30th, 2005, 02:28 PM Sorry, but i think it is an building that doesnt look nice for Barcelona! For me it is an ugly building!!
tykho August 30th, 2005, 04:45 PM Very funky :okay:
Sitback August 30th, 2005, 04:49 PM I hate it.
Pedrillo August 30th, 2005, 05:27 PM @Hush: The height of the Bali Hotel is 186 m.
Hush August 30th, 2005, 09:58 PM Thanks Pedrillo, anyway I said "aproximately"
samsonyuen August 30th, 2005, 11:56 PM Don't like it. It looks like a graffiti'd Gherkin.
CHANEL August 31st, 2005, 12:34 AM I DON'T LIKE IT IT LOOKS LIKE D*** AND ITS ALSO A BIT LIKE SWISS RE.
Rkhan August 31st, 2005, 12:40 AM Bloody Penis!
Colorful Penis. Say it however you want to. Rainbow penis might jus tbe fine as well.! :lol:
DId some gay guy design it or was it soem horny woman?
Travis007 August 31st, 2005, 04:16 AM To be honest, I like the shape of the tower and I don't mind it resembling Swiss Re but the color scheme doesn't work for me.
Imperfect Ending August 31st, 2005, 06:19 AM Its ugly but I can't complain
frankiego August 31st, 2005, 09:01 AM It`s quite horrible !

DonQui September 23rd, 2005, 03:29 AM Hands down one of my favorite buildings in Spain, it is a shame that I did not see it lit up when I was in barcelona. :(
Lord_Bertrum September 23rd, 2005, 06:59 AM Wow what a tower. I was already of this tower but didn't realise that it had been completed. It's an instant landmark and something for Spaniards to be proud off.
Looking at the first selection of pictures, I thought they were just renderings. That's the effect of the glass and colour! I can't wait to see this in the flesh.
Will Madrid be trying to build something to compete now?

Madrid is building 4x225m+ towers to be completed in less than two years.
Cliff September 24th, 2005, 06:44 PM The colours are alittle strong for me, but I like it nonetheless.
I find the little facade pop-outs lying on the groundlevel very cute!:D
And the lighting really does do justice for this awesome building!

khoojyh March 11th, 2006, 06:46 AM why they make the tower window become colorful, is that any reason ???
Reese March 13th, 2006, 08:24 AM 144 m? How many storeys is that ? I'd say about 35-40... am I correct?
Anyway, every building under 50 storeys shouldn't be called skyscraper in my opinion. This is just a"tower". Pity for Barcelona, I think this city has a great potential, but this tower... sorry I can't help it.

Peshu March 20th, 2006, 07:56 AM A truly world class building that sets the standard(alongside the Swiss-re in London).How some people don't like it is beyond me.
The only problem i find is where it's at.It looks like it's in no mans land.With the cathedral near by it looks so out of place.Barcelona should have created a cluster a few kms away from the old part of the city,with nothing but modern skyscrapers.Like they seem to be doing in Madrid.In this sense i think Barcelona is comparable to London.Where although some truly grand scrapers are going up.They seem to be putting them all over the place.
I really like the way Madrid has it's skyscrapers in certain clusters away from the old part of the city.It seems as though the great city planners have abandoned Barcelona and have left for Madrid.

the agbar tower is in fact far enough from the old quarter. When i took the picture from the montjuic mountain, i used a 12x zoom so the tower seems placed just by the cathedral. There are three future clusters of new towers in barcelona and all of them are placed far away from the old city ;)

lexicon506 June 22nd, 2006, 02:26 AM I don't know what people see in these phallic skyscrapers popping up everywhere. London, Istanbul, Barcelona.....I dislike all of them. And this skyscraper looks HORRIBLE in the Barcelona skyline, doen't fit in at all. Maybe it would've looked better in NYC, Honk Kong....but not Barcelona. Whoever said that it nicely compliments the Sagrada is crazy.
