A play of nature in its organic vs artifical created garden on Gaudi's unfinished Colonia Guell Crypt. Where six towers register Gaudi's unbuilt ones, in both a space inhabiting manner and a symbolic translation through color. Each tower consists of three components; the white reflected ceramic base, the steel rib structure, and the skin which consists of the natural hydroponic climbing plants and the sunlight absorbent glowing rods.
