Spring 2011 marks the opening of  “Metropol Parasol”, the Redevelopment of Plaza de la Encarnacíon in Seville, designed by J. MAYER H. architects. After finishing the concrete works in 2008, the parasols are under construction now. Visiting the site at the moment gives an impressive imagination of the final dimension and appearance.
