The Best Commercial Building of the Year

Architecture

Until the 3rd of March may find the process of the construction project of innovative ZeroZero Torre Diagonal, a brand new building that is already part of the city skyline of Barcelona. The exhibition "Processes: Diagonal ZeroZero" embodies the long journey that has lasted over 10 years and in which the project has undergone changes as diverse as variations in its size, function and environment. The exhibit shows original parts, models and sketches from 2000 to finalize the work.

The building, which was awarded the best commercial building LEAF last September, he was promoted by the Consortium of the Free Zone and hosts an R & D of Telefónica, a 24-storey multifunctional complex containing a central research, technological exhibition halls and an auditorium of 350 seats in the third and fourth floors.

The Diagonal 00 was built in record time of two years and "within budget limits very strict and stern, below the usual parameters in this type of building," says Enric Massip-Bosch. The building, which is covered by a curtain wall of extra-clear glass is very energy efficient "thanks to sophisticated treatments that keep the outside heat and prevent heat leakage out interior, reducing spending on air conditioning." Additionally, the building is connected to a district heating system and an automated network for the collection of waste, dramatically reducing power consumption.
