COMPETITION: COVER IN SESTAO

The main values ??proposed for the coverage of the Plaza San Pedro de Ermua in Sestao are:

1_SPACE FOR CITIZENSHIP, because the objective is to enhance the advantages of the square to expand its participatory and citizen focus. 

2_THE CITIZEN MOTOR OF THE CITY, promoting recreational, cultural, economic or any other type of activity by citizens in public spaces is an excellent way to build the city. 

3_THE ELEGANCE OF SIMPLICITY, by making simple folds to the horizontal plane, an elegant and dynamic volumetry is obtained. 

4_CONSTRUCTIVE SIMPLICITY, the entire roof is built with just two materials, wood and polycarbonate. 

5_ ECONOMY OF MEANS, the proposal is calculated with the minimum structural sections to avoid wasting material. 

6_LUZ, a transparent cover supported by a tree-like wooden structure, protects the space from rain and wind and saves as much natural light as possible. At night it will be the roof that is a source of light for the plaza and surroundings. 

7_SUSTAINABILITY, wood is a sustainable, recyclable and renewable material. Polycarbonate is recyclable. All construction is dry to ensure easy assembly and efficient separative disassembly. 

8_FUNCTIONALITY AND DIVERSITY, the fact of having kept the entire surface covered with open pillars allows you to make the most of all the possibilities of the square. 

9_YELLOW, the sun that we sometimes lack in Euskadi.
