context_page_description: Parc del Fòrum is a public park located between the district of Sant Martí in Barcelona and Sant Adrià de Besòs. It was built in 2004 following Elías Torres' and José Antonio Martínez Lapeñas's original design in order to hold the international cultural event Fòrum Universal de les Cultures, celebrated in 2004. It is operated by Ajuntament de Barcelona and Barcelona Serveis Municipals.
context_section_description: The main space consists of a huge esplanade called Plaça del Fòrum (Forum Square), designed by Torres and Lapeña. It is the site where the solar panel is located as well as some pieces of public art like "Los Pajaritos" or the "Bosc de Columnes" (Column Forest), which is mainly used for ludic events.
  The Parc del Fòrum also includes:
  Parc del Camp de la Bota: located in the old neighbourhood of Campo de la Bota, it occupies the space where its castle was located. The castle was used to execute and torture people during the Francoist dictatorship (1936-1975). Nowadays it hosts a park for kids, the "column forest" as well as some pieces of public art and a monument that commemorates those who were murdered in the castle. Barcelona's Natural Science Museum is located there as well as the Auditori del Fòrum, which has a maximum capacity of 3,300 people.
  Parc dels Auditoris (Auditorium Complex): designed by Alejandro Zaera, this space hosts two public air auditoriums meant to host concerts and other types of shows.
  Plataforma Marina: originally built to host a marine zoo (but cancelled due to the financial crisis), this flat platform is used to host many shows like Cirque du Soleil's "Messi 10" show or Primavera Sound's biggest stage.
  Zona de Banys (Bathing Area): designed by Beth Galí and Jaume Benavent, it is a two-hectare non-sand artificial beach where people can go and dip in the sea. It has ladders and ramps in order to make it look like a pool and to guarantee the security of the swimmers. There is also an artificial island equipped with sun beds and parasols. Showers and locker rooms are also part of this space apart from other elements and services.
  The zone closer to Sant Adrià consists of the Forum Beach, a marina, restaurants, a natural park and an active fabrique.
