For more than a century, the Pignatelli Reservoirs were part of the system that supplied water to the south of Zaragoza from the Imperial Canal. Built in the late 19th century, the complex consisted of four large open reservoirs measuring 125 x 40 meters and 4 meters deep, capable of storing up to 80,000 m³ of water. Over time, these infrastructures fell into disuse, leaving a significant urban void next to the Pignatelli Park.

Colgando del Centro is the result of a public competition called by Madrid City Council (Madrid Destino) in order to adapt the existing Operations Court of Cibeles Palace as a new public space for the city of Madrid. Therefore, the project consists of a number of interventions inside the old Telecommunications Palace, built at the beginning of the 20th century as the Post Office by Antonio Palacios and Joaquín Otamendi. Today it serves as the home of CentroCentro cultural space. The historical context of the project conditioned the nature of the intervention, turning the proposal into a reversible intervention, without affecting any original structural element. In addition, it is mainly a mobile construction, so it would be possible to hide its main elements and furniture when necessary, thus creating a slight modification on the current morphology of the Operations Courtyard.

Jarandilla de la Vera has grown around a large granite promontory, leaving its steep western side untouched protecting the access and placing the Main Square in the slightly sloped eastern side. From this square an irregular ramp starts off in the shape of a steep ascending path parallel to the northern facade of the church, arriving at a small square defined by the entrances to both the church and the Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre.

The green space in area 88/1, called Venecia Park, is located in its northwest boundary, running parallel to the Hispanidad Round between the Glorieta de la Calle Zafiro and the historic riverbed Canal Imperial de Aragón. The project encompasses an urban infrastructure with a linear character, 415 meters long and 60 meters wide, with an area of approximately 2.5 hectares. It solves three problems: noise and acoustics, rainwater drainage, and topography.
