Concrete Is Beautiful
Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oíza:
Torres Blancas, 1961 –1968
This is a gem of Spanish Architecture, probably one of the best examples of organicist architecture in the late decades. The architect had the thesis to provoke, as he described: “..to enhance harmony between human and nature with an organic building inspired by trees, where every neighbor could see flowers independently the floor level of the tower..”
Designed in 1961 by Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oíza, built in four years (1964-1968) with Juan Duarte as property developer, Carlos Fernández Casado and Javier Manterola, as engineers.
Passionate people, architects and future ones, come to Madrid and visit this building at least once in your lifetime.
Remember the work of Sáenz de Oíza (1918-2018) on his 100th aniversary.
