The most visible addition to the skyline came in 2005. The shimmering, cucumber-
shaped Torre Agbar is emblematic of the city's desire to make the developing hi-tech zone
of 22@ (

)
a reality. Nearby, work continues (as
of 2012) on the redevelopment of the Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes, which will add a
high-tech design museum (new home of the Disseny Hub) and abundant green space sur-
rounding it. Further east, work on Zaha Hadid's dynamic Spiral Tower adds yet more fu-
turism to the city, with hopes that cutting-edge architecture will help boost ongoing devel-
opment in the 22@ zone.
