Gardens are by definition peaceful and quiet spaces inserted inside the chaotic city. Gardens are pieces of artificial nature, man-made constructions constrained within a clear limit. For the Mapo Cultural Park we propose a number of clearly delimited gardens within the existing landscape as if we were working in the cityscape. The proposal preserves the existing natural condition and proposes the insertion of five new gardens.
The nature of these gardens is artificial, renewable energy fed, productive, cultural, technological and charged with urban programs. In a reversed process of “naturing” the urban context within a clear limit (a new urban park, a boulevard or a green square), we propose the urbanization of a natural area through the insertion of five gardens. Their geometry is linear opposed to the softer natural geometries of the site.
