這個紀念碑是為了紀念3年前（2004年3月11號）西班牙馬德里火車站大爆炸中的罹難者，由FAM architecture studio(ESTUDIO FAM)建築師事務所設計。

圖中所見是紀念碑的內部，高於頭頂的薄膜圓筒上印著人們在大爆炸發生在車站後所留下的紀念死者的信息，這種薄膜是ETFE，也就是 Herzog & de Meuron設計的Allianz Arena，OMA 的 Serpentine Gallery， 以及PTW設計的水立方的那種材料（前不久 WIRED Magazine 有一文章介紹水立方）。
此設計案於今年春天落成，紀念碑修建在一個地鐵站內，圓筒由地下延伸到地面上方，150,000塊彎曲的玻璃磚搭建而成，玻璃磚之間用一種液體丙烯酸材料粘接，並用紫外線照射固化。白天，太陽光穿過玻璃磚外牆照射到位於底下的藍色內室，形成一種光暈；晚上，圓筒形通過底部的燈光散發出柔和的光芒映照天空。
The Eternal Glow
Studio FAM’s memorial to victims of the 2004 Madrid train bombings
By Stephen Zacks
Posted June 20, 2007
「It’s a silent space, and people cry inside,」 says Mauro Gil-Fournier Esquerra, of FAM architecture studio. 「It’s very emotional.」 He’s referring to the blue chamber beneath the monument to the victims of 11M—as the March 11, 2004, attacks in Madrid are known to Spaniards.
The international memorial competition called for a sculpture stranded at the center of a traffic island outside Atocha station, the site of seven of the ten bombs that killed 191 commuters and wounded 2,050 that morning. Esquerra’s winning entry proposed extending the monument below street level to form a chapel-like memorial space inside the underground train station. The concept was clever, but the renderings—featuring an amorphous blob floating in the night sky and a translucent chasm riddled with text—gave little indication of how it would be realized.
Completed this spring in time for the third anniversary of the tragedy, the luminous three-story monument is built of 150,000 curved glass blocks glued together with a liquid-acrylic material hardened by ultraviolet lamps. Inside the tower, an ETFE membrane—the same material used for Herzog & de Meuron’s Allianz Arena, in Munich, and OMA’s Serpentine Gallery, in London—is printed with hundreds of messages left at the station by mourners in the days after the bombings. After dark, the volume radiates softly in the sky from lights in the opening at its base; during the day, sunlight produces an ethereal glow as it filters through the glass tower and reflects off the deep blue surfaces in the underground chamber.
「This is the moment of the memorial,」 Esquerra says of the daylight effect. 「It’s like an instant, something very fast. We want to speak to the light and the future: the spirit of the monument is to take all of the messages of these days, the feelings of the people, and create an eternal meaning for them.」
