Project presented for the Piensa Sol International Ideas Competition , convened by the Madrid College of Architects. The contest consisted of projecting a renovated space consistent with the history of Plaza Sol, located in the center of the city of Madrid, Spain.

​

The commission was dealt with synthetically, as a result of the organization and relationship between different elements scattered in the public space. For this, existing landmarks were reused (access to the Metro, kiosk-type shops, etc.), hiding them under steps that are exposed towards the center of the square, having a view and multiple uses of it. This gesture sought to re-establish the "mentideros" (places of conversation) that were so recurrent at the time of the colony, restoring the neighborhood and citizen character to the plaza.

​

At the same time, in the center of the plaza, commonly remembered as the founding landmark -like the drop that falls and expands- a water fountain was projected at the level of the pavement, with designs and inscriptions alluding to the foundation of the city and its relationship with the other Spanish provinces.
