MIGUEL CHICHARRO. ARQUITECTURE: TOWERS, THE SKY CONQUEST

If cities stretch horizontally, towers grow towards the sky as the slow ascent of an arrow – and like the arrows, sometimes they end up with a sharp point tearing through flesh, or, they miss their purpose, describing a frozen parable in a leaden sky. Within its interior, there are galactic toy aeroplanes cross a thick jungle inhabited by extraordinary beings; cardboard mannequins dressed up in sports wear; a neighbourhood bar offers hot sandwiches; a luminous border comes sliding out from a dark window and, a gold lettered inscription: deo ignoto;  Duerer’s Adam, as the sole and lonely human presence, accounts for the monumental scale of the construction.
