Here, I offer up a few more possibilities for inclusion in my Barcelona Structures portfolio. This time, near Plaça de les Glòries and also the Maresme-Fòrum area.

 

As always, the clouds are key…and the added touch of the occasional contrail–celestrial lines of human hubris, maybe?

 

The above, and the next two pictures, Barcelona’s Museum of Design:

The building fomerly known as Torre Agbar, and now called Torre Glòries, with a few airliner sky ghosts (triple X marks the spot):

The Telefonica building at Diagonal 0 is quite the optical contusion (so to speak), depending on the angle. Are those walls truly vertical, or do they curve? I really like this first image, a high key conversion:

Same concrete, different angle:
