Description

This skyscraper, designed by Uruguayan architect Rafael Viñoly, caused quite a stir even before it was completed (in 2014). Not because of its 160m height, but on account of its concave glass and steel façade, which caused some damage in the neighbourhood by reflecting the sun's rays. Protective screens have been installed to remedy the problem.
