Torres Colón is the first example of suspended architecture in Spain. Designed in 1969 by Antonio Lamela (Madrid, 1927–2017)—one of the most significant Spanish architects of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, who passed away two years ago this April—the towers stand as a symbol of the country's architecture and the Madrid skyline.

When Renaissance humanists began to set forth their knowledge of the art of building in treatises, they tended to combine words and illustrations. In fact, some of the most celebrated treatises resemble visual atlases more than written volumes. But how can an image develop a theory? The theoretical fertility of the image emerges, almost by surprise, if we replace the modern conception of "theory" with the genuine meaning of the Greek term theoria: the act of "contemplation" and "speculation," of developing a "vision."
