Metropolitan Parasol

The Metropolitan Parasol is the main architectural element that gives a new contemporary identity to the Plaza de la Encarnation and Seville as a whole. It is concieved as a roof structure that provides precious shade during the day, creating a comfortable microclimate and a place for relaxation.At night, the MP becomes an artificial sky that sets the stage for various light and sound scenarios.

These two qualities allow for a series of urban activities such as sports (beach volleyball, boxing, street basketball, etc.), cultural events (cinema, theatre, concerts, etc.) as well as commercial uses (car- and fashion shows, corporate events, presentations, etc.) that emphazise the Plaza’s role as one of the city’s main places for communication and interaction.
