Anyone who wishes to do so can take part in the public vote, which is open until 15 September
This week, Tibidabo is offering the last few sessions of the ‘Laser Show 2.0’
New architectural recognition for the Tibidabo amusement park. The Plaça del Jardí [Garden Square] and the Cuca de Llum funicular railway have been nominated for the Loop Design Awards. This is the fourth edition of the prestigious international awards, organised by the architecture platform Loop in recognition of the most important projects in the fields of architecture, concept design, interiors, landscape, product, architectural photography, architecture video, art and travel.
Both the Plaça del Jardí and the Cuca de Llum are competing in the People’s Choice Award section. The Plaça del Jardí is competing in the ‘Landscape: Public space’ category. The space is inspired by Tibidabo’s values: solidarity, sustainability and education. The square’s architectural features make it a friendly, playable space that welcomes visitors and offers some privileged views over the city of Barcelona. The square is also framed by the vertical garden, which adorns the Park’s office building, a feature that reinforces the relationship and integration of Tibidabo with the natural environment that surrounds it.
The square also features daisy-shaped sun shades and a curious, colourful piece of furniture that simulates geometric shapes and which makes the entrance to the Park a fun experience in itself.
For its part, the Cuca de Llum has been nominated for an award in the category ‘Landscape: Urban Design’. The nomination highlights the technological, sustainable and cutting-edge nature of the funicular railway, which has become a more sustainable and faster way to reach the top of the mountain. It also underscores the innovative design, the unique panoramic views, the comfort it offers to passengers, and the application of digital devices to enhance the experience of the journey.
The Cuca de Llum was already recognised in May this year as the best sustainable transport project by the prestigious Architizer A+ Awards.
Both the Plaça del Jardí and the Cuca de Llum were developed by the Barcelona-based architecture firm MIAS Arquitectes.
People from around the world will decide the winner of the People's Choice Award in each category through a public voting process which is currently underway on the Loop Design website. The deadline for voting is 15 September, and following this, the winners chosen through the public vote will be announced.
Final sessions of the Laser Show 2.0
This nomination comes on the final leg of the summer season at the Tibidabo amusement park, with the last few sessions of the light, music and colour show, Laser Show, now taking place. The final few screenings will bring us to the end of the season, which concludes on Sunday, 3 September. The screenings will take place at 9.30 pm in August and at 8.30 pm in September, always in the Plaça dels Somnis.
In addition, on these days, visitors will also be able to continue enjoying the rest of the activities offered at the Park, such as the new Tibidabo mascot show, ‘Les Mascotes per Barcelona’, the Marionetarium puppet shows, or the screenings of the films ‘Meg and the Lost Scepter’ and ‘Wanted Alive’ in 4D at the Dididado cinema.
