Torre Telefonica at Zero Diagonal by architect Enric Massip (EMBA), which is set to open this spring. The headquarters of one of Spain’s telecommunications giants is aggressively vertical — especially in contrast to the Herzog & De Meuron Forum Building next door — and much more transparent than one might expect from such a corporate entity. This is a three-story atrium open to the sky above, located on the CEO floor on the 21st story. Telefonica’s new tower at the end of Diagonal in Barcelona (literally: its address is ‘zero’). Enric Massip-Bosch’s is the latest in a series of striking new buildings clustered in an as-yet-unpopulated area carved from an old industrial neighborhood. The tower, 110 meters tall and 24 floors, is aligned with Diagonal, the avenue that cuts through Barcelona from the mountains to the sea. The patterned glass curtain wall extends above the roof line, forming one incredible balcony rail. The area at the end of Diagonal, Barcelona’s main thoroughfare, is still fairly isolated but chockablock with capital-A architecture: Herzog & De Meuron, Jean Nouvel, and soon to be Zaha Hadid.
