I believe that a blue plane tree should be erected in the place of the España Building. A blue banana-shaped building.
I pray that you allow me to defend the indefensible…
What is the architectural icon of Madrid (one of the most important capitals in the world)? The Kio towers, the Santiago Bernabéu stadium...? Please…
Have you tried typing in Google: “Architectural Vietnam Email List icon of Madrid” and see what comes up? Do you know which are the icons of Paris, London, Berlin, Rome,...?
And, most importantly: By what building do we want Madrid to be recognized in the world?
Keeping the España Building as it is will only perpetuate this void since it will never be the cover of any travel guide. Therefore, we should take advantage of these opportunities. Also, admit it: once here and to get to know Madrid in depth, the visitor will be able to continue enjoying the remaining 603 km 2 of the municipality...
So we should do something groundbreaking, unique and that responds to the challenges of future generations. A blue banana.
Blue, because blue is the color of sustainability. I thought it was green? Me too, but apparently blue better conveys the importance of taking care of water.
A banana, for three reasons: nothing like it has been seen in the world; it is technically challenging (can you imagine how the elevator works?); and it is a national product (…better advertising impossible…).Are you starting to believe in the incredible...? Okay... Instead of a banana, a blue olive.Author: Miguel Pinto, General Director of Strategy at Vía Célere.
