Edificio AGF, Madrid, Office building in San Pascual, Madrid, Spain.
Edificio AGF is an office building elevated on 16 concrete pillars with stacked volumes that create an unconventional profile. The arrangement forms a vertical composition where multiple structural platforms sit one above another.
A team of four French and Turkish architects designed this building in 1974, with construction taking until 1981 to complete. The long building process reflected the complexity of the innovative structural approach.
The design reflects modernist ideas from the 1960s that influenced architects across Europe at the time. This approach shaped how the building relates to urban space and light.
The building sits on Calle Albacete 5 with direct highway access to M-30 and A-2, making it easy to reach by car. Its position on a major traffic corridor means you will spot it clearly from the road.
Careful window placement on all four facades brings natural light into up to 80 percent of floor space inside. This attention to daylight in an office building was remarkable for the early 1980s.
