Metropol Parasol Building


An innovative and modern German architect Jürgen Mayer H. Taking stands against the backdrop of the Plaza de la Encarnación.
This project offender, whose organic forms based on the formation of fungi and scale, has generated a multitude of opposing views, in a clear dialogue with its surroundings.

The way that distorts the rectangular perimeter of the plaza, through the curves and their way of zooming in and out to surrounding buildings, resulting in different edges, some tensions with the neighboring buildings, somewhat overpowering them, and conversely in other situations to be nice and light generating large voids.

Despite its size, seems beyond heavy and dark, the structural system has been used, an entire spatial grid square, formed by pieces of plywood and steel, make the work becomes porous and distort letting see through it, and thus generating an umbrella, as the name suggests, it allows the arrival of light and air to the bottom and generated throughout the day different shades, which make pleasant stay in the square lower.


Spatial grid that we speak of works on different levels, moves, and transforms to be capturing different views of the city, creating the perfect vantage point for those who visit and showing a new way to appreciate the skyline of Seville.


The way it sits on the floor, allowed to free the space below, so you can be a multi-functional open space, where you can walk, play, and endless activities, while the dense applications are at the top and less than the dimension of the square. A t the same time this support has served to camouflage the nuclei inside vertical access to upper floors and the lower floor, where there are archaeological remains found during the preparation of the foundation, which paralyzed for a time the works. Thereby achieving the structure is understood as a continuum, where the same course of action meets all the intricacies of the project.


Finally, the whole project is a benchmark of technology and modernity, which interacts and integrates with his surroundings, and getting to share in its citizen.
