Las fachadas ajardinadas fue el tema de mi segundo post, éste es el volumen II sobre el mismo tema y hablo sobre la que vi en Madrid.

Caixaforum Madrid es un edificio industrial modernista de finales del S.IXX bastante conocido en la ciudad, donde se realizan exposiciones y conferencias. Eso sí que es un cambio de vida para el edificio, pasar de ser una central eléctrica a un museo.
En el 2008, tras su reforma y cambio de uso, se inauguró el edificio tal y como lo conocemos hoy en día. El proyecto fue llevado a cabo por los arquitectos suizos Jacques Herzog y Pierre de Meuron (Herzog & de Meuron) y de él me llamó la atención su fachada de obra vista que genera un voladizo sobre la plaza, como continuación al ladrillo, continúa la fachada con un material bien distinto, el acero corten.
Y para que luego se diga que los tabiques pluviales no son bonitos, vemos que en este caso no es así, ya que se ha conseguido un acabado espectacular gracias a su jardín vertical. Así que ya sabemos, cuando veamos que no nos convence el acabado de una fachada, plantemos en ella.
Caixaforum Madrid is a modernist industrial building of the last IXXth Century, it's quite known in the city, and there are exhibitions and conferences. This is what I call as a life changing for it! Start being a power station and change to a museum.
In 2008, after the refurbish, the building was opened as we know nowadays. The building was projected by the Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron (Herzog & de Meuron). What most took my attention was its brick facade that literally flies over the square, continuing the brick the facade turns in steel.
Do you think that the partition walls are no nice? This is not the case, they have a spectacular finishing touch thanks to its vertical garden. So, we know, when we were not convinced with the finishing touch of our walls, let's plant on it!

Todas estas fotos las tomé de noche, así que el resultado no es tan bonito como su las hubiera tomado de día. Precisamente en el mismo Caixa Forum, pero en este caso el de Barcelona (antigua fábrica casa Ramona), también estuve jugando con la cámara a últimas horas de la tarde.
All these photos were taken at night, so the result is not as nice as if it had been taken during the day. Precisely, I also took pictures in the evening in another Caixa Forum, but in Barcelona this time.
Está gracioso el efecto que le has dado a las fotos de Barcelona. El jardín vertical de Caixa Forum en Madrid, está muy bien. Y al verlo en tus fotos, de noche también me gusta :) Yo también tengo problemas para sacar fotos en sitios oscuros, te entiendo ;)
