Metropol Parasol


This is a liquid like piece of architecture. Flowing, moving and free formed. The "Metropol Parasol", is an ambitious redevelopment project by J. Mayer H. for Plaza de la Encarnacion in Seville, Spain. The design is an amalgamation of a variety of influences. Space, time, liquid form and an incredible marriage of materials come together to create this truly amazing piece of architecture. Scheduled for completion later this year, the complex will house an archeological site, an elevated plaza, a farmers market, a unique blend of bars and restaurants and the piece de resistance, a panoramic terrace located above the parasols. Yet another example of the progressive direction European architecture is renown for.
