SYNOPSIS

It is easy to recognize the Agbar Tower, but it is difficult to discover its interior.
How is light treated? How is the space distribution approached? Is it compartmentalized space or open floor? Which are the innovative technical solutions? What kind of furniture have the designers created or chosen? Do the outside colours have anything in common with the interior?
Gerardo García-Ventosa, designer and architect responsible for projecting Agbar Tower's interiors, describes the solutions that have been adopted in Jean Nouvel's Tower and explains the conceptual process followed to achieve them.
