In its never-ending quest to create a Seussian paradise full of precariously leaning buildings, organically bulbous apartment complexes, and poofy truffula trees, the city of Madrid has approved plans to build a sparkling eco-hive convention center: the new Centro Internacional de Convenciones de la Ciudad de Madrid (CICCM).

The new building was designed by Mansilla + Tunon Architects and features a translucent gelatinous skin filled with solar cells and a design that funnels sunlight into its deepest recesses. It’s pretty neat.
