Torre Mapfre , Hotel Arts , and Peix d'Or




i've seen a lot of skyscrapers as you all know , but the fish is kinda different ..
this huge fish sculpture, measuring 35 m x 54 m came out of Frank O. Gehry’s ongoing interest and fascination in fish imagery and shapes. The position of the fish looking out to sea is rather appropriate too. The sculpture is made out of stone, steel and glass and is immediately eye catching with its shiny metal plates changing colour depending on the sunlight.
