Postcard 12 features the Hejduk Towers at the City of Culture
in Mount Gaiás. American arhitect John Heijduk originally
designed the towers in 1992 to be botanic towers for Compostela Park however
after it was never realised, Eisenman who was an old friend and colleague of
Hejduk decided to recover the project.The towers are 82-foot tall and situated at
the edge of the new site, overlooking the city's old medieval centre. The two
towers bare a similar form but are constructed from different materials, one is
clad in granite while the other appears like a wire-frame showing metal and
glass.
