STRUCTURE - THE CASTELAR BUILDING (headquarters for a bank), by Rafael de la Hoz Arderius and Gerardo Olivares, Madrid / Spain, 1974 - 1986

almost 50 years old ! this amazing building - a tower on top of a podium - is HUNG; a mega column containing stairs and lifts and a L-shaped concrete arm hold the floors of perpendicular grids of steel.

COMPOSITE PANEL FACADE - MECANOO, Student Housing DUWO, Delft, Netherlands

https://www.mecanoo.nl/Projects/project/55/Student-Housing-DUWO

Three residential “towers” finished in dark masonry laid with “beards” of overflowing excess mortar, their irregular texture resulting in a distinctive play of shadows on the facade. Facing the park, the three buildings feature a green facade of COMPOSITE PANELS (translucent glass fiber composite) combined with a tubular metal frame covered in climbing plants.
