PPAA – Pérez Palacios Arquitectos Asociados
Plaza del Ayuntamiento
2026

Logroño’s City Hall, designed by Rafael Moneo, was conceived as a fragment of the city rather than as an isolated building. Its architecture sets out an open plaza, understood as a public space where urban life unfolds and where the institution draws closer to its citizens.

Taking this condition as its starting point, the proposal does not seek to place an object in the plaza but to work with its void. The project arises from the grid of the building itself, whose geometry extends into the plaza as a silent prolongation of its order.

This weave unfolds across the space as an urban fabric, a field of lines that emerges from the ground and turns the void into a habitable structure. Steel stakes draw a light network that expands from the City Hall toward the street, generating a landscape that invites people to walk through it and discover new relationships between architecture, city and public space.

Rather than occupying the plaza, the intervention weaves new connections between the building, the city and those who cross it. The void thus becomes an active place, where the movement of pedestrians completes the architecture.

In this way, the proposal reinforces the continuity between architecture and city that characterises the City Hall, allowing the plaza to be experienced as part of the urban fabric of Logroño.
