The building is either unique in Barcelona or it's not. It is certainly not one of the "most" unique.

[edit] New pictures added
I have posted three pictures to Wikimedia Commons. I have made them in April 2004 when Torre Agbar was under construction.

[edit] Inspiration
The Montserrat? Are you sure it's not a penis-inspired building? *evil grin __earth (Talk) 05:48, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- A penis is not a solide of revolution :). This building make me think of a bullet, much more than anything else. --84.103.33.42 08:37, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] have to concur
how can this puff piece not acknowledge that the building looks like it was inspired by a penis! please. I'm sure there are citations somewhere where the blatantly obvious shape was discussed. Not perhaps the mountains of Monserrat...maybe something a little closer to home?
[edit] Inspiration
Hang on a minute, something suspicious here. It looks suspiciously like London's 'The Gherkin' doesn't it? I wonder if the architects stole eachothers ideas... 82.152.34.159 13:11, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Haha, it must be June and it is still spring.
[edit] Edit Links
I don't know if it is my screen, but for me I am getting the three section edit links right next to each other next to the photos at about the top of the Night photo. This might be my resolution, so is anyone else getting this problem? Matt - TheFearow 21:53, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Aguas de Barcelona" is not catalan
Hi. The first sentence of the article says: "Catalan from the Spanish translation of the building's owner name Aguas de Barcelona". But "Aguas de Barcelona" is spanish, not catalan. In catalan is said "Aigües de Barcelona. So either change catalan with spanish, or change the name of the owner's name.
[edit] Mystery succession box
What is the succession box all about? What are those other buildings/awards?? (Highcliff, Emporis Skyscraper Award (Silver) Q1 Tower (Gold Coast, Australia)) and in what way are they related to the Torre Agbar? AdeMiami (talk) 16:35, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
- It indicates the Emporis Skyscraper Award Silver award recipients. Torre Agbar received the award and was preceded and followed by the other two buildings in the silver award category. Dr.K. (talk) 17:27, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
