9 Housing at Calle Clavel Clavel Madrid This project is a model of integration in an urban centre, in this case the centre of Madrid This integration occurs by means of an architectural language that deliberately renounces the reinterpretation of past architecture The project introduces a high population density in an already saturated historical district Although this decision is not the wish of the author, one can only wonder if a programme of dispersal perhaps would have been more appropriate for this particular context of high population density and an obvious lack of public facilities In this way, the lot could have been used to introduce other community uses instead of loading the area with homes photo: Miguel de Guzmán Project is not public!

11 photo: Nazar Leskiw photo: Marco de Trizio Puerta de Europa Plaza de Castilla Madrid These two office towers flank the Paseo de la Castellana, Madrid's most important boulevard The location of a subway interchange made the placement of the two towers near the street impossible Their bold design is in part a response to the need for the footprints of the towers to be set back from the interchange while at the same time bringing the towers together as a single compositional whole The towers lean towards each other and over the plazas, ensuring their visibility from up and down the Paseo and creating a portal which, being at the Northern end of the business district of Madrid, has been called a metaphorical gateway to Europe The façade of each tower is a composition of a major grid -clad in stainless steel conforming to their structure-, a minor grid of red mullions, and a third grid comprising the light grey mullions of the curtain wall (text from website architect) photo: Manuel González Olaechea y Franco Public access unknown! 1995 Main designer, Philip Johnson John Burgee Marco_De_Trizio 11
