Massive pastel colored parasols that you can climb? Yes, Centro Abierto de Actividades Ciudadanas in Cordoba, Spain is a project by ParedesPino Architects.

“Its location close to the railway station of the AVE high speed train in Cordoba city can take advantage of this gap as a unique opportunity, giving the character and scale necessary to assume as a new focus of interest not only confined to the neighborhood, but as a magnet in conjunction with the city.

“We opted for a solution that allows a wide variety of uses. It offers a covered area, protected from the weather, which will house a temporary market two days a week and other activities at other times.

“It therefore poses a solution based on prefabricated circular elements that vary in height and diameter and arranged in a flexible manner to allow a similar vision of an urban forest of shadows. On each day the parasols are mounted on platforms at work and then rise about three units. The parasols also solve the artificial lighting in the same item and allow drainage of water inside. The provision at different heights (4 to 7 meters) and diameters (7 to 15 meters) and deck the different colors (7 colors), allows assessment of different behaviors compared to light and air movement between parts. ”
