We hope that this year the parrón will provide a fully shaded walkway as the vines use their rapid growing power to fill it out. There is a lot of talk in the technology and materials world about creating responsive environments and architecture that autonomously provide shade when its hot and lets in the sun when it’s cool. This is exactly what the vines covering the parrón do, in the course of their seasonal cycle the vines naturally work with the elements to provide an optimum environment, no technology required.
