The tower you saw is Torre Agbar. Not the same as Swiss Re but just as cool and original imo.

I like the colours. :)

It looks even more like a butt plug than the Gherken but it lights up better at night. :) It's pretty.

The real question is, why the hell were you watching ANTM?

I think that it's more sophisticated than Swiss RĂ©. The facade treatment is simply amazing, very detailed and imaginative.
One of Nouvel's best works.

they both have the same shape but they are very different when looking closer to details.both versions do add a great deal to their cities, the best choice was made

Will somebody please think of the children?! IMO Swiss Re looks much better and I also prefer its facade. Torre Agbar really does look like a giant dildo which more or less ruins the entire skyline.

I think it's very fitting in Barcelona.

I dont like agbar tower.
The site is inadequate as it is possible to see in the image.
Imo; Barcelona needs a downtown that concentrates skyscraper. :cool:

There's just no comparison. SwissRe is by far the classier tower.

Torre Agbar only looks good at night.
