SHADOW

Team point of view

The context of economic crisis is one of the starting points of the project.
Building the minimum sqm to solve the problems will be one of the aims. This will reduce costs considerably and give Don Benito free space.
A strategically located underground car park will be built.
The area of action will be “cleared” of low-quality buildings. The new voids will be filled with a Centre for Entrepreneurs to solve the problem of views obstructed by dividing walls, with a tourist information centre for the small voids. These buildings also revitalise the local economy.
We also propose to generate a new, unique and versatile public space using a modular system of shade-providing canopies. These, together with benches and new pavement, provide a unified response for the three squares.
