The [giant hand-like pavilion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tess-pavilion) is hung over a square in the Spanish metropolis. The space underneath the giant blue hand is meant to be for [various events, including social gatherings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/de-wachtkamer) and wedding ceremonies. The hand acts as a method of shading for people here, and is also meant to be a type of art form. Moreover, as part of the theme of Democracy, the design stands for human rights and equality, with the color blue being a universal symbol for this. Anyone visiting Barcelona should head to this square to check out the Take My hand pavilion, and celebrate equality for people worldwide.
