The ability to seek shade in sunny Spain just got a little bit easier. A new 128,000 sq.ft (11,900 sq.m) umbrella installation located in the southern city of Córdoba, created by ParedesPino Arquitectos, is designed to revitalize the city center.
Designed to also connect surrounding neighborhoods and the railway station, the umbrella installation offers a colorful venue for both commerce and community.The Centro Abierto de Actividades Ciudadanas (CAAC) project is modeled after an urban forest with the brightly colored umbrellas varying in height and size. Equipped with lights, the installation also provides a beautiful display in the evenings, with the nighttime illumination allowing for continuous use of this clever urban space.
