seen it before
It seems amazing , I'll love to go there, especially for the self sustannble climate control and the panels filled with cloudy nitrogen
kinda like this idea.. would like to see more of the building..
the ugliest building ever though!
been there 2-3 times …the facade system never worked…..seems to be a failure…UNBELIEVABLE!!!
This should participate on World festival Refrigerator Award….that's i told you before…
enric seems to have very good friends…
Beautiful is not always good …. a building can be beautiful from the outside but it can harbor horrors in embodied energy as well as consumption…. i have been here and also interacted with the architect as well as researched on it … …… its a great achievement in carbon reduction…. would love to see more of such buildings built ….
