This building, another one of Norman Foster’s designs, acts as the new headquarters for Caja Madrid, the largest bank in Spain, and is located in the Cuatro Torres Business Area in Madrid. This is the tallest building in Spain boasting 45 floors spread out of 250 meters. The structure uses a combination of materials to emphasize solid and transparent areas of the building.
The way that offices protrude from the steel frame inspired me when folding polygonal shapes in the paper folding exercise.
