Text description provided by the architects. The ‘Isozaki Atea’ is an urban and architectural key project of the city. In it, two issues that urban planning had not managed to resolve to date are definitively resolved: one, connecting the Ensanche area to the river with its corresponding change in elevation, and two, the union of the two urban areas corresponding to the Ensanche area of the nineteenth century and Campo Volantín area in a resounding but sensitive way.

The project gives the city a previously non-existent direct access to the Paseo de Uribitarte promenade that borders the river through a monumental staircase, integrating the Zubi Zuri bridge and generating a complex network of diverse public spaces, rich in nuances and uses divided into three levels.

In the architectural plan, the project stands out for its singularity, volumetric intensity and construction characteristics with two curtain wall buildings of imposing simplicity, framing the beginning of the city from the river, as its backbone, and recognizing its importance in the historical development of the town.
