This stunning design for a new community structure in centre of old Seville in Spain is well underway. The Metropol Parasol is, as the name implies, a series of large parasols designed to keep the sun off those that will inhabit and visit what will be a mix of commercial activity and cultural/tourism activities.
Personally, I think they look more like giant mushrooms spouting from the earth but maybe the ‘Metropol Mushrooms’ wasn’t trendy enough in the name department.
Check out some very cool shots and some video after the jump.
