Text description provided by the architects. The aim of this intervention was to enlarge and develop this square in view of the opportunity provided by the demolition of a disused building affected by the Metropolitan General Urban Development Plan. The square was in the shape of a truncated cone with a surface area of 2,200 square metres in a big pedestrian block in the Torrassa neighbourhood, with Carrer del Montseny, which carries vehicle traffic and is the neighbourhood’s main artery, forming the upper boundary. In the middle of the square there was an irregularly shaped children’s playground that did not fit well and whose paving was in bad condition. Various large items (an ice cream stall, a lottery ticket booth, advertising hoardings, etc.) were dotted about and blocked the narrowest side of the square by Carrer del Montseny.
