Frontones danzantes (Dancing Pelota Walls) proposes an ephemeral infrastructure that turns play into a tool for urban transformation. From an elementary gesture —a wall and a ball—, the proposal revives the collective spirit of Basque pelota and brings it into the contemporary context of Logroño, exploring new ways of activating public space.

The intervention acts on the Revellín car park, currently defined by its condition as a space of transit, to transform it into a dynamic landscape where architecture and movement intertwine. Where no walls exist, the project introduces three mobile pelota walls that expand the possibilities of use of the place, incorporating different sporting practices such as basketball, football or climbing.

Inspired by the logic of the temporary and the adaptable, the system is built from dry-assembled modular elements, combining timber panels and mobile metal structures. This configuration allows the devices to move and reconfigure, generating different situations throughout the festival and establishing a continuous dialogue with the surrounding architectures.

The proposal rethinks the transitory character of the car park to turn it into a space of collective encounter, where sport is understood as a cultural act and play as a form of civic appropriation. Architecture ceases to be a static backdrop and becomes a catalyst of relationships, activating public space through the body and shared movement.
