Gigantic human being formed of letters by the Catalan artist Jaume Plensa (Barcelona, 1955). Steel, 11 meters high. It is a person who is more inward than outward looking. The letters symbolize a hermitage, metaphor of a society where a single person is not of importance. For the author, Jaume Plensa, his work is an architecture that protects something very fragile: the soul.

Designed by the Navarra architect Francisco Mangado (born 1957), who was assisted by bioclimatic design specialists from Spain’s National Renewable Energies Centre (Cener). This building imitates a forest, "a natural space that is both so simple and so complex, in which the light penetrates the treetops and the sound of water transports us to an experience which today, because of environmental deterioration and urban lifestyles, is almost a luxury". The exterior 750 columns, which look almost like reeds or bamboo shoots, are made of terra cotta (clay) with a metallic core that when in contact with water create air currents and a microclimate that has a cooling effect on the building. The Spanish Pavilion was expected to be used by the University of Zaragoza to set up a new faculty of architecture.
