Hotel Porta Fira

The 110-meter-tall red tower features a rotating design with diagonal metal tubes covering its exterior, creating different visual effects from various angles.

The Porta Fira Tower emerged from a 2002 competition to expand Barcelona's Fira, leading to its completion in 2010 as part of a larger development project.

The tower design by Toyo Ito combines Japanese architectural principles with European urban planning, reflecting international influences in modern Spanish architecture.

The 26-floor structure contains 344 hotel rooms, multiple conference spaces, and connects to an adjacent office building through a shared ground-level atrium.

The building's exterior consists of two distinct layers: an inner aluminum and glass envelope, plus an outer shell of red tubes that allow structural movement.
