Plaza Euskadi

一条直接的中央小径，是能量和城市运动的焦点，延伸到整个区域，将所有的部分缝合在一起，而椭圆形的绿树成行的周边小径允许流通和更悠闲的坐着。三个公共公园的“口袋”挂在中央小径的一侧，展示了再生橡胶制成的好玩的座椅。每个口袋都有一个不同的特点：一个反射水坑的圆形剧场区，一个奥斯曼式的座位区，以及一个“花园”区，入口有一些开花灌木和一棵100年前的Laegostremia树。广场的北半部下面有一个1000多空间的地下停车场。
A direct central path, focus of the energy and urban movement that spreads to the whole area, sews all the pieces together, while the tree-lined perimeter path of the oval form allows for circulation and more leisurely sitting. Three public park “pockets” hooked onto the side of the central path display playful seating of recycled rubber. Each pocket has a different character: a reflecting puddles-seating amphitheater section, an ottoman seating section, and a “garden” section with a selection of flowering shrubs and a 100 year old Laegostremia tree at its entrance.A one-thousand-space underground car park lies underneath the northern half of the plaza.

这座被当地媒体称为“危机广场”的广场耗资137万欧元，是原建设预算的六分之一。2008年，该广场的建设受到西班牙经济衰退的影响，导致进行了全面的重新设计，包括拆除山丘、减少种植和分级以及更换材料。
The plaza, referred to by the local media as“the plazaof the crisis” cost 1.37 million euros, a sixth of the original construction budget. In 2008 the construction of the Plaza was impacted by the economic downturn in Spain leading to a complete re-design which included the removal of thefountains, the cut down on planting and grading, andthe change of materials.
