Torres Hejduk, Memorial towers at City of Culture of Galicia, Spain.
The two towers rise 82 feet high on the western slope of Mount Gaias, with one structure made of granite and another featuring metal and glass.
American architect John Hejduk designed these towers in 1992 for Belvis Park, but Peter Eisenman relocated the project to the City of Culture after Hejduk's death in 2000.
The glass tower functions as an exhibition space where young artists display their installations throughout the year as part of the New Artists Meeting program.
The towers provide visitors with elevated views of Santiago de Compostela's medieval center while serving as orientation points within the cultural complex.
The glass tower contains an LED lighting system installed by Iberdrola in 2013, creating color variations visible across Santiago de Compostela during night hours.
