Utilities Buildings in Barcelona


This gleaming glass structure is the natural gas company in Barcelona.  It almost looks like a glacier made out of glass, I love all the different angles used.  It would be incredible to see the view from one of the offices above.

Another great utilities building is the water utility building.  Its shaped like a giant cucumber and at night it has a crazy lighting system that makes it glow red and blue in different patterns.  The coolest thing about it is that the whole lighting system uses an absurdly efficient hydro dynamic power system, To light the whole outside of the building it takes as much power as it does to run a refrigerator.
