Reorganization of the Victoria Kent Park
The intervention takes place in a park area in which the expectations of the original project didn't reach the estimated reactions, leaving a marginal area due to the original proposal, a huge 'crater' 40 meter diameter and 1,20 m deep, with no other treatment but the concrete block paving. Out of scale and without an intended use. The situation is bound to lack of maintenance of urban furniture and equipment. It is detected lack of recreational areas. The wooded areas are fenced with hedges that prevent people from resting in the shade.
The project seeks the recovery of this area by incorporating elements able to catalyse activity and provision of equipment that captures the appeal of its use. As starting point, the original pavement of the 'crater' is removed and replaced by a more natural treatment, with the addition of numerous plant elements.
It is important to note the strong railway character of the area from the past, with several old buildings for railroad equipment remaining.
