euibeom LEE / keunyoung RYU / kunho KIM:
Urban parks provide rest and comfort to people who live in the city regardless of its size or location. In addition, parks are where people can reconnect to the mother nature in the midst of busy city lives. Parks also serve as romantic dating spots, and sometimes create dramatic atmosphere. The urban parks bring out the most synergies when they are fully integrated with infrastructures, nature, climate, and events and add more livelihood and dynamics to the city.

alberto FERNÁNDEZ ZEQUEIRA + francisco RODRÍGUEZ SUÁREZ: The concept for the project came from the park’s unique industrial past. Drawing inspiration from the original and forgotten railroad lines of the site, a new system of rails was designed for the project’s numerous stages and kiosks.
