Remodeling of the Plaza de España

Alcoy

IN SHORT

This commission evolved out of the Plaza de España refurbishment project, where the Santa Maria Church at its head and Alcoy Town Hall set distinctively within its continuous, defining facades. Although the plaza is traditionally used for festivals and community events, the Town Hall is lacked of suitable space for assemblies. The community, through the Instituto Valenciano de Vivienda, proposed to construct a multi-purpose public hall below the plaza. Built to accomodate approximately 600 people with service areas and storage facilities, the community hall can be used for all kinds of cultural and social events, including exhibitions.
