Barcelona's changing skyline has recently witnessed the appearance of the "Torre Agbar" (waterworks head office - 2004), designed by architect Jean Nouvel.

According to www.greatbuildings.com, Nouvel's work strives to "create a stylistic language separate from that of modernism and post-modernism... (and the architect) initiates each project with his mind cleared of any preconceived ideas". Hmmmm.

Although the building is affectionately known by locals as "el supositori", experts believe that Nouvel sought inspiration in the Cerne Abbas Giant. Furthermore, despite conspicuously absent references to Samuel Coleridge, there are fears that the Torre Agbar will become flaccid with age.
