Space Tower (Torre del Espacio)
I just saw a Discovery Channel "Extreme Engineering" special on last night about the Space Tower being built in Spain. It has a very interesting design which transforms the base from a rectangle to an oval and it reaches heights of over 700 feet. I'm sorry I don't have that many details about it, but that's why I'm here. I was wondering if anybody has found more information about it either online or book. Please let me know!

Thank you for those links. Although, I did find those in my search about this building as well. Most of the links on the Emporis website don't connect to anything. I was curious if there were any floor plans/drawings out there to possibly 3-D model it. (I did read the other thread about copyright infringement, I do not want to do that, I just wanted to make one for myself) But again, Thank you for finding and posting those links!

Yes, I am having the same problem with GE. The buildings don't show up in Spain, it took me to the middle of the ocean!
