Porta Fira tower by Toyo Ito:

Hotel Porta Fira (also Torres de Toyo Ito with Torre Realia BCN) is a 28-storey, 113 m (371 ft) skyscraper hotel designed by Toyo Ito on the Plaza de Europa in the district of Granvia l’Hospitalet in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, a suburb of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.

The building was the 2010 first-place winner of the Emporis Skyscraper Award.

Emporis Skyscraper Award:

The Emporis Skyscraper Award was an award for architectural excellence regarding the design of buildings and their functionality.

The award was presented annually by Emporis, a real estate data mining company with headquarters in Hamburg, Germany.

The award is given to the building representing the "Best new skyscraper for design and functionality".

To qualify, nominated buildings must have been completed during the year of the award, and must be at least 100 meters in height. Nominees and winners were chosen by Emporis editors, and the award would have been announced the following January and is usually presented at the following spring or summer.

Prior to 2000, the award was known as the Skyscrapers.com Award

Architecture Style:

Deconstructivism is a movement of postmodern architecture which appeared in the 1980s.

It gives the impression of the fragmentation of the constructed building, commonly characterised by an absence of obvious harmony, continuity, or symmetry.

Its name is a portmanteau of Constructivism and "Deconstruction", a form of semiotic analysis developed by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida.

Architects whose work is often described as deconstructivist (though in many cases the architects themselves reject the label) include Zaha Hadid, Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskind, Bernard Tschumi, and Coop Himmelb.
