URBAN PARK

The urban park arises from a very clear conceptual scheme of paths and spaces. A diagonal is introduced to allow a short-cut from the various entrances of the park. It's emphasized by a pergola and a linear bench, which also defines a zoning change. The playground area extends from the bench to the granite seats.

An elevated terrace is generated to promote the use of the building’s ground floors. Many fountains and two tree rows are placed in the park. The public lighting is characterized by street lamps designed for this park. But, a softer area is projected in the southern side of the pergola. In the zone, a series of complementary elements to stretch or practice gymnastics go with the paths followed by walking or running. There, the trees placed irregularly, combining ever green sand deciduous species so that the park has a chromatic variety along the four seasons of the year. Last but not least, several children's games complement the various uses of the park. In a nutshell, a park meant for the stimulation of the senses.
