Sevilla – Metropol Parasol

Sevilla – Metropol Parasol
Sevilla – Metropol Parasol
Metropol Parasol is a wooden structure located at La Encarnación square, in the old quarter of Seville, Spain.
It was designed by the German architect Jürgen Mayer and completed in April 2011.
It has dimensions of 150 by 70 metres (490 by 230 ft) and an approximate height of 26 metres (85 ft) and claims to be the largest wooden structure in the world.
Its appearance, location, delays and cost overruns in construction resulted in much public controversy. The building is popularly known as Las Setas de la Encarnación (Incarnación's mushrooms).

Wie hast du diese Konstruktion empfunden, poly? Man hat Metropol Parasol ja mitten in die Altstadt neben die uralte Kirche gepflanzt. Ich war 2010 dort und habe ihn nur in unfertigem Zustand gesehen.
Deine Detailaufnahme ist super!

Naja, Uli, die Meinungen über dieses Gebilde sind sehr zwiespältig da unten. Städtebaulich natürlich nicht unbedingt erbaulich. Aber es bringt viele Touristen, also ist es wirtschaftlich sicher interessant. Alte Kirchen kann man schliesslich überall sehen.
Man kann ja auch aufs Dach dieser Konstruktion steigen, und von da hat man einen fantastischen Überblick über die Stadt. Vielleicht schaffe ich es noch ein Bild hochzuladen, bevor IP zumacht ;-)

Nice perspective, which makes this work almost beautiful (overall I find it interesting but not of a stunning aesthetic).
