The borough of Miguel Hidalgo in Mexico City aims to recover the underutilized infrastructure of the Cuernavaca Railway and turn it into a dynamic public space. To this end, the borough is calling for projects from teams of architects, urban designers, and landscape architects, both Mexican and international, who wish to participate in the Cuernavaca Railway Linear Park International Design Competition. The project seeks to honor the site’s history while responding to an imminent need for green and recreational spaces, and to expand opportunities for the local community to interact with one another in the public space. The Convening Committee seeks innovative proposals to recover railway infrastructure located on the rails of the former Cuernavaca Railway, in the stretch between two thoroughfares, the Avenida Ejército Nacional and the Calzada de los Gallos, and to transform these urban remains into a public space that uses the landscape as water-management infrastructure. The linear park will be 4.6km in length. It will promote responsible rainwater management, which will be used both for park maintenance and to reinsert rainwater into the aquifer. Additionally, it will enhance social development and sustainable mobility within the region. Diverse structures, including bridges, industrial buildings, bicycle lanes, avenues, museums, high- and low-density housing, and city infrastructure, are part of the urban fabric that runs through, bounds, and contrasts with the study area. Given this, proposals should be sensitive both to the complexity and diversity of the surroundings, and the specific needs of the local community. Additionally, proposals should respond to the objectives, rules, and regulations laid out further in this document. This Competition represents an unequivocal opportunity to transform the urban landscape of Mexico City. The Convening Committee calls on the creativity of architects, urban designers, and landscape architects, to develop proposals that can become an urban reference for the future. COMPETITION PROCEDURE Following the online registration and receipt of documents that validate participants’ academic degree (professional accreditation recognized by the Department of Public Education (“SEP” by its Spanish acronym) and/or the equivalent for the country where the participants completed their professional studies), participants who fulfill the requirements will be notified of their official enrollment in the competition. The participants who fulfill the requirements will present an overall schematic design proposal for the Cuernavaca Railway Linear Park. The Jury will analyze and evaluate each one of the participant’s schematic design proposals anonymously, and will select five finalists. The finalists will be invited to participate in Phase II of the Competition. The Jury will also select an alternate proposal in case one of the finalists does not wish to proceed in the Competition. The five selected finalists will be asked to confirm their interest in proceeding with the Competition via email. In the event that one of them does not confirm their interest, the alternate will be invited to take their place. Each one of the 5 finalists will be asked to develop a detailed schematic design, based on their overall proposal, for a section of the park and the intersections that bound it. The section and intersections to be designed will be assigned before beginning Phase II. Phase II of the competition will not be anonymous. In this phase, finalists will present their proposals using the materials and format described further on in this document, and will give an oral presentation before the Jury and the Advisory Committee. The Jury and Advisory Committee will be described further on in this document. The Jury will analyze and evaluate the proposals on the basis of the materials submitted and the oral presentation. Their decision will be announced publicly by the CAM-SAM on the dates listed in the Calendar of Events. The results will not be subject to appeal. The members of the Advisory Committee will have a voice, but no vote, during the final evaluation. 9 FOR THE CUERNAVACA RAILWAY LINEAR PARK REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION Registration will take place online. After participants have registered and submitted documents to validate their academic degree electronically, participants who satisfy the requirements will be notified and will be officially enrolled in the Competition. This Competition is public and open, without exception, and its call for entries is open to Mexican architects, urban designers, and landscape architects, as well as foreign professionals from these same disciplines. Participants must hold professional accreditation recognized by the Department of Public Education (SEP) and/or the equivalent for the country in which they completed their education. Participants may work in teams. Employees of the sponsoring institutions, members of the Scientific Committee, members of the Jury, members of the Technical Coordination Committee, as well as employees or relatives (spouses or blood relatives of up to four degrees of consanguinity, by affinity or marriage) of the aforementioned people, may not participate in the Competition. In the event that the architect, urban planner, landscape architect, or team that wins the Competition does not have tax residency in Mexico, he or she will be asked to form a temporary partnership with a Mexican architect, urban designer, landscape architect, or firm that has not participated in any phase of the Competition. The Mexican partner must have the technical and material capacity—which will be demonstrated via a portfolio of work that meets a set of requirements, which will be shared at the appropriate moment—as well as the infrastructure necessary to complete a design development and construction documents for a project of this size. The Mexican collaborator will be required to meet legal, administrative, and tax requirements before finalizing the contract. The winning team and its Mexican collaborator will be asked to submit a copy of the partnership agreement between the two parties. The agreement will indicate acceptance that the Mexican architect, urban designer, landscape architect, or firm will be the party to enter into a contract with the entity chosen by the Convening Committee. If the winner does not have a relationship with a Mexican architect, urban designer, landscape architect, or firm with the required characteristics, the Technical Coordinator and the Scientific Committee will be available to recommend someone suitable. PRIZES The 5 competition finalists will be compensated $100,000.00 (one hundred thousand Mexican pesos and 00/100 cents) plus tax (“IVA” by its Spanish acronym) to cover the costs of developing the project during Phase II. The payment will be made by the Technical Coordinator of the competition to each participant or team representative, as long as his or her proposal is complete and submitted on time, following submission of the required invoice or tax receipt. It is understood that no participant will require any payment beyond that which has been described here, except for the participant or team who wins the Competition. In addition to the $100,000.00 (one hundred thousand Mexican pesos and 00/100 cents) for payment of expenses established in the previous paragraph, the winner will receive a contract to complete Design Development and Construction Documents for the entirety of the Cuernavaca Railway Linear Park. This contract will include compensation of $19,500,000.00 (nineteen million, five hundred thousand Mexican pesos 00/100 cents) plus tax (IVA). The participants of Phase II of the Competition agree to accept this fee in the event that they win. In the event that the contract is not seen through for reasons not attributable to the participant or team that wins the Competition, the Convening Committee will provide the winning participant or team $100,000.00 (one hundred thousand Mexican pesos 00/100 cents) plus tax (IVA) in compensation, in addition to the Compensation of Costs for project development in Phase II. 10 COMPETITION RULES - INTERNATIONAL IDEAS COMPETITION AREA OF THE COMPETITION The initial assessment concludes that the current city structure surrounding the rails of the Cuernavaca Railway, in the stretch bounded by the Avenida Ejército Nacional and the Calzada de los Gallos, is underutilized and fragmented. The 4.6 linear km that make up the study area are crossed by 8 major thoroughfares, making it difficult to appreciate as a single, continuous public space. Calzada de los Gallos Calzada México-Tacuba Avenida Marina Nacional Calzada Mariano Escobedo Avenida Moliere Avenida Río San Joaquín Boulevard Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra Avenida Ejército Nacional Approximate total surface area: 130, 914.07 m2 Total length: 4,528m Total number of intersections: 26 Maximum width: 40.77m Minimum width: 9.7m Area restricted for train transit: 3m on either side of the tracks 11 FOR THE CUERNAVACA RAILWAY LINEAR PARK PROGRAM One the goals of the current call for entries is to define the scope of the project. Each participant will define the scope of their project using their own analysis and diagnostic of the study area, as well as the design objectives described further on in this document. Be advised that the proposals should take into account the diversity and complexity of the urban fabric within the study area, and should integrate some of the elements listed below. However, it is up to each of the participants to include or omit these elements, and/or to incorporate other elements not listed: Illumination, public bathrooms, bicycle and pedestrian trails, gardens, flood protection systems, wooded areas, gathering and resting spaces, exercise equipment, playgrounds, shaded areas, water features, street furniture, kiosks, etc. Note: Rules, recommendations, and restrictions from PEMEX, FERROVALLE, Gas Natural, Calle Segura AEP, etc., which are included in the Appendix to this document, must be taken into account in the design of the Cuernavaca Railway Linear Park. These documents will be included in “Forms and Appendix” section of this document, and will be available for download from the website www.parquelinealfc.mx OBJETIVES Sustainability The Cuernavaca Railway Linear Park should be thought of as a project that treats landscape as a piece of water management infrastructure. This intervention should be a paradigm of responsible rainwater management, both for park maintenance, and for reinsertion of rainwater into the aquifer. Multi-scalar To understand the Cuernavaca Railway Linear Park not just on a local scale, but also on a scale of regional and metropolitan importance. Mixed-use Promote strategies for mixed-use. The Cuernavaca Railway Linear Park should be understood not just as a pedestrian and biking hub, but also as a mixed-use link between different means of transportation: public and private, collective and individual. Integration of urban stakeholders The presence of various city stakeholders all along the Linear Park, including educational, recreational, and private and public cultural institutions, is significant. As such, the Linear Park has the potential to bring together existing networks and strengthen the relationships between them. Proposals should include, promote, and advance the participation of diverse stakeholders in the Linear Park. Socially inclusive The Cuernavaca Railway Linear Park should be socially inclusive. The Convening Committee seeks proposals that promote and strengthen existing relationships between residents of the areas surrounding the future Cuernavaca Railway Linear Park, taking care not to encourage or underline social, economic, religious, gender-based, and other differences. Promoting social and cultural activity The proposals ought to envision programs and strategies that promote regular, active use of the public space. The Convening Committee seeks projects that center the site’s history. Proposals should salvage and help to renew of a sense of belonging, tradition, and identity in the neighborhoods that surround the future Cuernavaca Railway Linear Park. ww ww 14 COMPETITION RULES - INTERNATIONAL IDEAS COMPETITION STRUCTURE AND STRATEGY The 4.6 linear kilometers between Avenida Ejército Nacional and the Calzada de los Gallos, which make up the future Cuernavaca Railway Linear Park, are fragmented by eight main roads (six strategic intersections). These roads make it difficult to read the area as a single, continuous space. As such, it is essential to rethink each of the six strategic intersections that currently fragment the space as potential urban sutures that could hold it together. Although the Cuernavaca Railway Linear Park should be thought of as a holistic project, both the Design Development and Construction Documents, as FC wellDE as CUERNAVACA the construction of the park are expected to happen in three stages, each of which corresponds to one of PARQUE LINEAL the three sections laid out in the diagram (T1, T2, T3). The order of implementation of these stages is not yet defined, and will not be DIVISIÓN POR disclosed untilTRAMO Phase II of the Competition.
