Montjuïc Telecommunications Tower - Barcelona
Made by ladigue_99
Santiago Calatrava 1991 Calatrava's beautiful and original communications tower was built for Telefónica in the heart of the 1992 Olympic site, to carry coverage of the Games. Aside from its distinctive structural form, the tower is innovative in enclosing the circular platform of microwave dishes, replacing the normal clutter with a serene white arc. As a result the 130 meter structure becomes a welcome feature in the Olympic park. Imagery abounds. The overall form of the tower is based on a Calatrava sketch of a kneeling figure making an offering. The base on which the figure 'kneels' is covered in broken glazed tiles in recognition of Gaudi (though with more restrained colors). The orientation of the tower means that the shadow of the central needle on the circular platform acts as a (rather impractical) sundial. from: www.galinsky.com/buildings/MontjuicTower/index.htm

The entrance of the Castell de Montjuïc, Barcelona. Now a war museum, it was a prison during Franco's regime and served as a place for execution of political prisoners. I saw this man leaving and took the picture. At the time I didn't know it would turn out this way, but I like the effect, considering the history of the place. Now a thriving city, capital of Catalunya, Barcelona exults this freedom feeling and much like the ghost leaving the prison of the past, it is moving into the light, after years of darkness where Franco denied the Catalans their identity.
