CALEIDO, MADRID, SPAIN

Measuring in at 181 metres, it will not be known for its height so much as its width, which at 16 metres will be the narrowest of the group by far. In addition to housing a private hospital and shopping centre, it will also be home to one of the first vertical university campuses, with lifts and stairways connecting the various academic departments, instead of streets. Designed as an inverted T, the tower makes use of the concrete structure built for the International Convention Centre in 2008, which will be 20 m in height and serve as a foundation for the 36-storey tower.

For a project of this size, with a surface area of more than 50,000 m² for the tower and 7 storeys belowground adding another 150,000 m2 , a total of 79,365 m³ of concrete were used, along with 9,427,217 Kg of steel.
