A Gehry tower that never quite arrived—Barcelona’s alternate timeline in crumpled metal.
Office, hotel in Catalonia, Spain.
Featured in Frank Gehry's definitive monograph, Building Art: Life and Work of Frank Gehry.
Visitor Guide
Nothing to visit if unbuilt; use it as a comparative study against built Barcelona icons like Glòries for how ‘signature’ form is negotiated.
Best ‘photo’ is render context against the Sagrera rail corridor plans.
Project status uncertain/unbuilt in practice; no public access as a completed building.
Unbuilt Gehry is still Gehry: the design usually leans on digital surface modeling (CATIA-era workflows) even when the tower doesn’t materialize.
