The Plaza, on top of an underground parking garage, emerges as a pivot point that connects the 19th c. neighborhood to the new section of Bilbao, Deusto university campus, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Nervión River.
A direct central path focuses the urban movement that spreads through the plaza, while the oval tree-lined perimeter path allows for bicycle circulation. Three “pocket” parks hook onto the sides of the central path and provide colorful and playful seating made from recycled rubber. Each pocket has a different character: an amphitheater section with reflection puddles, an ottoman seating section, and a “garden” section of flowering shrubs and a 100 year old Laegostremia tree at its entrance.
In 2008 the construction of the plaza was impacted by the economic downturn leading to a complete re-design.
