A new public space in the historic Neighbourhood 

Due to the closeness to the historical center of the city, the site has the potential of enhancing public life of “EL ENCINO” connecting it with the most important PLAZA in the city, which is within 500m distance. By recycling the old structure a new heart is possible in the neighborhood.The intervention will act first as a cultural public space solving the immediate needs of the current population. Finally the site will be complemented with mixed use development attending to the future needs.

Integration of the lost heritage

The project aims to enhance the identity of the site in order to explore new ways of helping the local communities and building up a strong consolidated image as a way to attract the rest of the city. Through the exploration of the intrinsic characteristics of Mezquitan the project elaborates an urban design concept of integration between the 2 main urban fabrics of the area; housing and the history cemetery by introducing new passive mobility measures that enable a safe crossing through one of the main arteries of the city. Moreover new urban uses are allowed to attract investment and explore new potentials for cultural program.

The Re-making of a District

Tanthof is a residential quarter in Delft. It is the only neighbourhood in Delft that was built during the 1970s and 1980s. The typology of the area is often referred to as ‘bloemkoolwijk’. In recent years a decline has set in. The city is responding proactively, to prevent Tanthof from entering a downward spiral of decline. This is the context that the TU Delft and the City of Delft decided to team up and focus a full semester on its most southern district. The overall goal is to improve the performance of the urban environment by developing a vision, project, strategy and evaluation framework to counteract locally the above mentioned issues.

Aguascalientes, Mexico 21°52'15.9"N 102°18'30.8"W Municipality of Aguascalientes, SICOM 2016 Under construction Urban Design  Park Neighbourhood  25900 m² - STVX, Colectivo Arrabal Raul Martinez, Alberto Sanchez, Daniel Alcala, Oscar Hernandez Paulina Hernandez

Unused urban space remains as forgotten wasteland or gaps between buildings and other constructions. These spaces have a high potential for reconstruction and repurposing by integrating them into the community, and for creating stunning spaces by distinguishing their specific character. Such is the case of the ex-Villa Charra, an old structure that function almost for an entire century. However after XXI the place has been slowly forgotten and new commercial developments have taken over the daily system. Due to the later, segregation has increased over the years leaving the surrounding communities neglected from proper public spaces, increased insecurity and continuous decay. As a way to counteract this problematisations the 2.5Ha open space will be reimagined as a public space that serves as a neighbourhood park.

Ecotono Urbano

Nieto Street will become by 2025 a vibrant and healthy public space that allows locals and visitors to enjoy a first touch to the city centre through a well thought walkable path close to the CAEA Building, the initial landmark of the path. As an engine of change the strategic urban interventions start in this location. The intervention has as initial goal to create and dignify accessibility to the CAEA Building, which not only has a historic value but the potential of bringing future change for the city.

Podgorica has developed through a series of periods of rebuilding, each time with an aim to establish a new order. The project site, regardless of its favoured position as the centre of the capital has become a cacophony of traffic domains that fragment the space making it difficult for pedestrians to enjoy the provided openness. Independence Square, despite being a very culturally and administratively charged site, has become unattractive to local residents and visitors. Our porposal ‘[ IS ]’, aims to re-establish a sense of place, of arrival and integration to the square. The conceptual framework of the project relates 2 main concepts for this transition to take place; Identity and Public space as the main strategy to regain the tension of encounter and dialogue with the entire city. Crucial strategic actions taken are: (1) a re-organisation of the site based on the re-introduction of historic and natural qualities and characteristics present in the country, (2) integration and connection of the square by cleared it from transport systems and framed it by its surrounding urban fabric, and (3) activating and transforming the square limits, expanding it to link bigger networks of urban functions. In the proposal, [ IS ] has become both: a park due to its expansion, that thorough tree-canopies, attractive resting areas and an expanded carpet create a clearing and a series of different urban interiors around the square that address different urban fragments surrounding the site: and a successful public space linked to wider networks of green and blue structure, transport and tourism, in short the vision of an integrated urban scale intervention worthy of its positioning.
