Plaça dels Països Catalans
Plaça dels Països Catalans, Public square and art installation at Sants district, Barcelona, Spain.
The square features two large copper sheet roofs and cement structures that create geometric patterns across the 16,000 square meter space.
Architects Albert Viaplana and Helio Piñón completed this contemporary urban project between 1981 and 1983, introducing a new concept of public spaces.
The square received the FAD Prize for architecture and influenced numerous similar minimalist public spaces constructed throughout Barcelona during the 1980s.
Located opposite Estació de Sants, the square connects Avinguda de Barcelona with Miño street, providing a central gathering point for travelers.
The design deliberately excludes vegetation, focusing instead on architectural elements including a metal plate silhouette of a cat within the space.
