Project for a sustainable park developed together with LANDP architects. The main aim of the proposal was to integrate the different areas around the riverside, which had been fragmented into a series of unconnected soil plots, in order to recover it as a coherent landscape unit. The permeability, both pedestrian and motorized, between the park and the urban city grid, is, so, one of the key operations of the proposal. A permanent affluence of people as a way to avoid marginality. A decomposing pattern of vegetal insertion, rectilinear when close to the city and organic as it gets to the open territory, softens the transition between city and landscape, creating an inner sustainable logic.
