The Glòries Tower, former Agbar Tower, in Barcelona

La Torre Glòries, ex Torre Agbar, a Barcellona

Torre Glòries, formerly Torre Agbar, in Barcelona.
At the heart of Barcelona’s enchanting skyline stands the majestic Torre Glòries, an iconic structure that embodies the city’s architectural boldness and innovation. Originally known as Torre Agbar, this modern and futuristic structure quickly captured the world’s imagination with its unique silhouette and bold vision.
The story of Torre Glòries begins in 1999, when Barcelona’s water and wastewater company, Agbar, decided to build a new headquarters to symbolize its commitment to innovation and sustainable development. The task of designing this iconic structure was entrusted to French architect Jean Nouvel, renowned for his creativity and ability to challenge architectural conventions.
Torre Glòries is not just a skyscraper, but an architectural work of art that reflects the culture and spirit of Barcelona. Its distinctive shape, inspired by the play of light and color, is composed of more than 4,500 glass panels in the shape of a lens, which give the tower a dynamic and changing appearance depending on the daylight and the angle of observation.
At 144 meters high and with 38 floors, the Torre Glòries dominates the Barcelona skyline with grace and power. Majestically illuminated at night by a sophisticated LED lighting system, the tower becomes a luminous beacon that reflects in the city's night sky.
In addition to its extraordinary aesthetics, the Torre Glòries is also a model of sustainability and energy efficiency. Its glass façade is designed to maximise the use of natural light and reduce energy consumption, while a rainwater recovery system is used to irrigate the surrounding gardens.
In addition, the tower is equipped with cutting-edge energy-saving technologies, including efficient heating and cooling systems and the use of recycled and low-impact materials in its construction.
In addition to being an architectural icon, Torre Glòries has also become an important centre of cultural, commercial and social activity in Barcelona. It houses offices, shops, restaurants and event spaces, providing a lively meeting point for residents and visitors to the city.
In addition, the tower has been the subject of numerous events and art installations that celebrate its beauty and cultural importance to the city of Barcelona.
Torre Glòries, with its fusion of bold design, sustainability and functionality, truly represents the dynamic and innovative soul of Barcelona. As a shining beacon in the heart of the city, it continues to inspire and fascinate those who see it, remaining an eternal symbol of human progress and creativity.

Where is the tower located:

Torre Glòries, formerly known as Torre Agbar (an acronym for Aguas de Barcelona), is a skyscraper located near the Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes, in the Sant Martí district of Barcelona. According to Jean Nouvel, the shape of the tower was inspired by the characteristic pinnacles of Montserrat that surround Barcelona and the shape of a geyser of water rising towards the sky.

Malaga è un comune della Spagna di 579076 abitanti, situato nella comunità autonoma dell’Andalusia, nel sud della Spagna. Capoluogo dell’omonima provincia, la città costituisce la capitale culturale ed economica della Costa del Sol. Nonostante nella regione siano state trovate tracce di presenza umana fin dalla preistoria (dolmen a Peña de los Enamorados nel comune di Antequera, pitture rupestri a Benaoján, ceramiche a Nerja), Malaga deve le sue origini al fatto di essere stata una delle colonie fondate dai fenici di Tiro intorno al VII secolo a.C. lungo il Mediterraneo occidentale.

Il Bosco Verticale è un complesso di due palazzi residenziali a torre progettato da Boeri Studio (Stefano Boeri, Gianandrea Barreca e Giovanni La Varra) e situato nel Centro direzionale di Milano, ai margini del quartiere Isola. Peculiarità di queste costruzioni, ambedue inaugurate nel 2014, è la presenza di più di duemila specie arboree, tra arbusti e alberi ad alto fusto, distribuite sui prospetti. Si tratta di un ambizioso progetto di riforestazione metropolitana che attraverso la densificazione verticale del verde si propone di incrementare la biodiversità vegetale e animale del capoluogo lombardo, riducendone l’espansione urbana e contribuendo anche alla mitigazione del microclima.

Going down the path that from Sestri Levante reaches Santa Giulia and then descends towards Lavagna, there are several very panoramic points from which you can see the two towns (Lavagna and Chiavari) divided by the Entella.
In this one, in particular, you can see the large skyscraper that rises in the (modern) center of Lavagna, in Piazza Cordeviola.

Nella splendida cittadina di Chiavari, da fotografare, non ci sono solamente i carruggi e i portici signorili ma anche dei palazzi alti e moderni.
