Tibidabo Welcome Square | MIAS Architects

The Tibidabo Welcome Square serves as a new representation of the core principles and philosophy of the amusement park itself. With a focus on solidarity, sustainability, and education, the square offers visitors of all ages a breathtaking panoramic view of Barcelona, inviting them to reflect upon the cityscape. This modern and playful welcome square is characterized by a vertical garden that adorns the welcome building. Beyond its administrative functions, the transformed building now serves as one of Barcelona's largest insect hotels, blending the amusement park with an inter-species attraction. The facade of the building harmonizes with the natural surroundings of Tibidabo Park, minimizing visual disruption and highlighting the environmental challenges faced by urban areas.

In addition to the square, MIAS Architects have designed Margarithe-shaped parasols scattered throughout the area. Chairs and benches, each with their own unique shapes, are arranged as if capturing family portraits of geometric forms and colors. This combination reinforces the park's simple yet joyful design.

As a direct response to the pressing issue of climate change, the Tibidabo represents an architectural embodiment of various design languages that shape the future.
