Xanadu-Ricardo Bofill

This 18 apartment building complex was part of the La Manzanera development which also include another one of Bofill’s projects, La Muralla Roja. To me this is like modern take on a castle. The structure of this building pivots around a central axis, in which numerous cubes were added to form the apartment units. Bofill designed each cube to have function-sleeping, living, or services. I really liked this building because of where it was built. From the picture is looks like is was built on the cliff side overlooking the sea. I think that would be a sight to see especially during sunsets
