Walden 7's cylindrical tower elements were Bofill's unit of composition — the module that, repeated and varied across the sixteen-story facade, creates both the building's rhythm and its visual complexity. Here, two appear in vertical sequence: the upper cylinder catching the Barcelona sun directly, its terracotta tiles casting a bold tear-drop shadow onto the flat panel wall below; the lower one sitting half within that shadow, its window open behind a curved balcony ledge. The flat panels of the surrounding wall, smooth and large-format, make the tiled surface of each cylinder appear warm and handmade by comparison — the same terracotta color rendered in two entirely different material registers. The building's most expressive feature, examined at close range: a column without a capital, a tower without a battlement, a form that carries the memory of both without committing to either.
