PARQUES DEL RÍO MEDELLÍN

 

by Sebastian Monsalve Gomez + Juandavid Hoyos Taborda

The project seeks to be an element that weaves the city vertically and horizontally, re-conceptualizes the use of the river bank, and revitalizes it from its transformation as a hierarchy of environment, culture, education, sports, and mobility.
 
The focus is on implementing new biological processes and rebuilding the environmental axis of the river over time. Landscape design is not determined as the final result or finished product, because it is pre-conceived as the beginning of various processes that will evolve over time, with the sole purpose of creating a self-sustainable ecosystem with biodiversity And the regeneration of existing environmental structures.
