Puig Tower, Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain designed by Rafael Moneo + Antonio Puig, Josep Riu GCA Architects + Lucho Marcial
The tower strictly follows the floor plan and height established in the original plans, and the proposition that it was to be perceived as a united figure and not only as a simple superimposition of horizontal floors, led to the suggestion of the spiral glasswork which encases everything. 
The floor plans of the tower- a 27.5m by 27.5m square- shows the importance of the core, which not only resolves the vertical connections, and the service and mechanical elements, but also contributes to defining and structuring the usable space.  -- ArchDaily
