The construction of the Sagrada Família has reached a new milestone in terms of its height with the completion of the towers of the evangelists Saint Luke and Saint Mark.

The tops of the first two of the four planned towers are crowned by a tetramorph, a sculptural work made of carved natural stone, and two wings, approximately nine metres in length and weighing fifteen tonnes, made of polished white reinforced concrete.

Isozaki’s work is renowned worldwide for its ability to blend Eastern and Western styles in an intuitive search for spatial meanings that transform structure into a tool that connects reality and dreams when viewed from different angles. 

In 1906, Barcelona City Council ran a tender, which Escofet won, to standardise the designs of its “panots”, the paving stones that have fundamentally shaped the image of Barcelona's streets. One hundred and fifteen years later, through the BIT Habitat Foundation, it is launching a new challenge: “Rethinking the panot for the 21st century” with the aim of making it more sustainable, while keeping its iconic design intact.  

Our author Emilio Tuñón has won the 2022 National Architecture Prize awarded by the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda. We’ve worked with him on the design of two landscape elements and the construction of one of his buildings.

In 2022, we are presenting new collections of street furniture and also some expansions to the range of established products. In collaboration with some of the world’s most talented designers, Escofet combines the dynamic nature of architecture with the industrial expertise of our technicians to create durable products based on good design and the use of the best materials.
