Does the swiss couple know what will be erected not faraway, in between the towers that they show in one of their 3d views?

I think more information is needed about this project to see whether it will be successful or not.. the birds’ eye context renders and massing plans only show so much.

It looks to me like some of the designs of Kazuyo Sejima & Ryue Nishizawa from the mid 90’s, anybody else sees the similarities?
It looks nice thought… but I have to say that the placement on the context is totally arbitrary (not good- specially in a city like Madrid with so much history)

So much is about the “show-biz” nowadays….

In 20 years this will be downtown Madrid.Remember that until 1900,there
were only farms above 59th street in Manhattan! This is an excellent example of urban planning and superb architecture.Slowly,Madrid is connecting the dots,wait and see.

They didn’t resist the idea of building an “icon”. I truly miss when they had a fresher approach to the architecture. Seems they’re screaming their presence!!

I don’t understand this building. All the famous architects can build whatever they want, even the most boring projects.
