The Torre Agbar of the French architect Jean Nouvel has taken a prominent place in the skyline of Barcelona. Nobody wants to believe anymore that the iconography that the architect meant for the office tower was that of a fontein, a geiser, a shower. An appropriate iconography for the company the building is for; the water company of Barcelona.
But today everybody refers to the Torre Agbar as the ‘fallus’ or ‘penis-building’ and can be googled under that name. However especially at night it looks much more like a plastic and colorful dildo.
Curiously enough Jean Nouvel is currently building a second tower in Doha, Qatar, that has a similar shape and smooth texture, and so again a similar unmeant iconography. |

Hello Emin !
Checking in my pants ...... Mmmmmm , ''It'' does not look like this at all (^_^). Looks to me more like a projectile shell .
About the photo, the composition is good. I do not know if it is because of the smog , humidity , or available light , but it seems to miss a bit of punch.
Try to upload photos using the maximum permissible size of 800 pixels. If files are too big , just decompressed them a bit to fit the maximum 300kb capacity . You will benefit of a better visibilty, and get ultimately better feedback too.
Cheers!
Robert
Thanks for the smile ( ^_^ )
