RESTORATION OF THE TUDELA-CULIP SITE (CLUB MED), CAP DE CREUS
NATURAL PARK
This is possibly the biggest restoration project in the whole of the Mediterranean basin. It includes
the selective deconstruction of 450 buildings and the paradigmatic management of 42.000m3 of residue, recycling virtually 100% of the material; two, the elimination of all invasive exotic species over
90 hectares, especially the ice plant (Carpobrotus edulis); three, the restoration of the orography and
drainage to re-establish the natural erosion and sediment transport dynamics; four, the implementation of a public use project which exudes the values of the area by ordering and grading the itinerary
and proposing a network of rock and animal identifiers.

This proposal is based on three ideas with the aim of creating a littoral park in the Delta del Llobregat: first, to make connections and links throughout the delta in terms of light traffic and public and
private transport, and also to join the populated areas to the natural world; second, to recover the
biological connectivity by widening the belt of dunes and the beach, and so creating a system of small
tidal lakes, and also by reforesting part of the pine wood; thirdly, to divide the area into zones and
thus separate public use, and also to make this offer of a wider range of free-time activities compatible with the objective of recovering the natural environment. The prize will go to the best proposals
for public use and for the most original idea.

A project for 17 km of river which runs through nine expanding villages is difficult to implement
coherently. Therefore, the idea is to create and apply a standardised method to find solutions for
frequently occurring problems. Five intervention groups are envisaged-the river bed, the banks,
the paths, plantations and outdoor furniture and facilities-and are adapted to the conditions and
requirements of each place. The proposal guarantees the continuity of the longitudinal access to the
riverside, as well as the replanting of the fluvial woodlands in order to recover the three-dimensional
structure of the river.
REORGANISATION OF FORTÍ DE LA REINA, TARRAGONA
A project to demolish a ‘weddings and banquets’ restaurant located inside the archaeological remains
of Fortí de la Reina in Tarragona, and to landscape the ‘tropical gardens’ and surrounding facilities.
This ‘rock on rock’ project proposes to clear all the ornamental elements as far as the mother rock,
which is made of sandstone typical of this heavily built-up section of the coast, and so expose the
wind-worn cube-shaped rocks of the castle. This project looks to create a certain ‘brutality’ and the
sensation of exposure to the elements more like Peine de los Vientos de Donosti than a domestic
promenade.

The company proposes to create a crater of 600x400m and 45m deep on the plateau known as ‘Les
Garrigues’. L’EIIP considers a series of improvements to the exploitation project: first, the diversification of the orography by varying the talus type in relation to sun exposure time and the vegetation cover required; second, to transform the rainwater drainage system into a superficial watering
system and to separate the gradient of building humidity; third, to diversify the vegetation cover in
relation to sun exposure time, slopes and drainage; fourth, to deal with the perimeter of the zone in
sections according to existing views and heritage value.
LANDSCAPE STUDY OF THE LLOBREGAT FLUVIAL ENVIRONMENT AT
T.M. DE SANT FELIU DEL LLOBREGAT AND MOLINS DE REI
Four initial proposals for four municipalities which have an extremely complex relationship with the
fluvial environment of the Llobregat river. For some decades the growth of these towns and the
construction of infrastructure for the fluvial corridor of the Llobregat has taken place facing away
from the river. This has effectively isolated this important corridor fluvial and deprived citizens of the
municipalities along the river from enjoying the area. This is a project of territorial suture on basically
private land, and is born of a detailed study of the possibilities. The main focuses are public access
routes and the plantations along them, and public facilities along the new fluvial façade.
SPECIFIC ORGANISATION PROGRAMME FOR LA PUNTA OF THE
CAP DE CREUS
Visitor numbers for La Punta of the Cap de Creus are surprisingly high considering its state of disorganisation. The analysis concludes that the area needs to be ‘monumentalized’, and the zones for
recreational use, including restaurants and sun and beach tourism, need to be kept separate. The
plan is to distance the car park from the urban limits in seven stages, and from there to direct the
traffic, assuming that this is the key to managing the area. For each stage the following variables are
taken into consideration: identity, access model, capacity, network of paths, facilities, management
and security, and finally enhancement of the territory.
GREENBELT, CERDANYOLA. PARC DE L’ALBA - SINCROTRÓ
The aim of the greenbelt is to improve habitats and restore connectivity, to build a functionally efficient social and ecological space in the Natural Park of the Collserola mountain range and the Plana
del Vallès. It is the most important intervention of this type in the whole of Spain. The agroforestry
mosaic has two components, cereal crops in the centre flanked by two rivers which are the main
axes of ecologic functionality. The project includes building a new ecoduct above the AP-7 motorway
which would mark the first attempt to restore ecologic permeability between natural systems.

Mas Ventós is possibly the best viewpoint in the Empordà, the little Tuscany of Catalonia. The reorganisation project for this leisure spot, apart from resolving existing accessibility problems, also
creates a new visitors’ itinerary by ‘deconstructing’ the current viewpoint and transforming it into a
series of cascading terraces which multiply the views and angles. These terraces are located around
a rediscovered rocky outcrop. Plans also include gradually renovating the existing wood, planting
first communities of pine trees in the areas of degraded soil, and cork and oak amongst the established pine woods

Can Ribes quarry not only combines stone extracting with aggregate manufacturing, but there is
also an asphalt manufacturing plant based on recycled materials, a cement producing plant and a
controlled landfill for rubble from construction. These facilities are to be expanded to include a plant
for treating and recycling cement. The plan considers a series of measures to better integrate these
industrial installations with their surroundings by means of screening, peaks and camouflage. It also
proposes a more diverse restoration programme, including varying the topography and the management of drainage and infiltrations.
RIERA DE VALLVIDRIERA RESTORATION PROJECT. PHASE I
This is a low-budget project which has restored the fluvial environment of the Riera de Vallvidrera,
previously occupied by illegal allotments, to the citizens of Molins and also repaired the access route
between the PN de Collserola and Molins. In doing so (mmm) m3 of rubble and structures has been
removed, and (m3) d’arrels of American cane roots have been destroyed to open up this section of
the river and so encourage native species of vegetation to recolonise the riverbank. A new path along
the river which goes over three bridges is also planned.

The project aims to transform the pools of an old fish factory into a habitat of littoral, tidal lakes.
One condition of the project is to preserve both existing populations of Spanish toothcarp (Aphanius
iberus), which is at risk of extinction all over the world, and the protected flora, Limonium sp, thus
creating tidal lakes with a habitat for aquatic birds. The different requirements in terms of depth,
isolation and slopes, mean that the section of earth breakwaters between pools is remodelled to
diversify the amount of flooding and thus create an archipelago of tidal islands.

The ZAC Torremilà-Fraternité, an annex of the airport, is included in a proposal for the system of
open spaces and consists of three main areas of intervention: first, to treat the airport’s access roads
as a ‘parkway’ which integrates the industrial estate and the wine-producing landscape to become
the gateway to the city of Perpignan; second, to create a linear park to manage rain water through a
series of storage tanks which become a habitat; and thirdly, to organise the inner roads of the ZAC
so that they are oriented towards the Canigó mountain and to create large tree-lined avenues.

areas; second, a hydraulic transparency zone with wetlands to compensate for the impermeabilization of the soil; third, a series of landscaped parking areas in small pine and ash woods in the ‘hydraulic transparency’ zones; fourth, to construct a car park behind the beach including planting pine trees;
last, to recover the dunes previously used for parking.

This proposal attempts to anticipate ‘a woodland housing estate’. The traditional urban plantation is
replaced by other denser systems with different combinations of species requiring new management
methods, to establish a woodland area in a new section. It is an experiment in creating a 2-in-1 wood
which combines species which establish and grow quickly with other slower-growing noble trees.

The wine producing alluvial plain of the north of Perpignan is extremely exposed to the Tramuntana
wind. The rows of trees that act as windbreaks and the drainage ditches for the rain create an ordered landscape. It is difficult to integrate large logistics warehouses of some 400mx90mmx15m into
such a flat landscape. The proposal is to alternate them with strips of woodland with trees which
are tall enough that the emerging wood integrates with the warehouses. The strips of woodland also
serve to collect and infiltrate rainwater from the warehouse roofs which helps to not only establish
the wood and but also to reduce the size of the pools of rainwater.
ZAC ORLINE, PERPIGNAN (FR)
The industrial estate of Mas Orline marks the southern gateway to the city from the A9 and is situated on an agricultural plane of vines and fruit trees. French law requires that the impact of the
impermeabilization of the soil caused by urbanisation be reduced by building ‘retention bases’ which
accumulate and then let the rainwater slowly drain away over a period of 48 hours. Contrary to
the usual solution in similar cases where a large pool is created at the lowest point of the industrial
estate, ZAC Orline proposes to build a series of more superficial rib or finger-shaped pools which
not only manage rainwater but also form strips of wooded areas which help the environmental and
ecological integration of the industrial estate.

The littoral zone is that part of the sea that is close to the shore, where land meets water. The horizon is where the gaze sees the earth join the earth and the sky. These are the ecotons that define
spaces with enormous social, environmental and landscape surplus value. Nowadays, the park is a
scenic deposit of drinkable water, very popular with visitors but untouchable. Within the context of
the dry landscape of central Catalonia, the proposal is to expand and ‘activate’ the water through a
seasonal programme. The initial ‘pack’ is a swimming pool complex, a place of mist and ice, fountains,
pots, aquatic gardens, fun canals and waterfalls. At the same time, the park is linked to the surrounding agricultural terrain and neighbouring towns and villages.
PRAT NORD CHALLENGE
The conclusions of 12 professional studies by urban planners, architects, landscape professionals,
civil and hydraulic management engineers, experts on mobility, urban law and economic promotion,
and environmentalists, headed by Llop-Jornet-Pastor, have lead to the following proposal: a compact
widening of the ‘superislands’ to the south, a central park linked to the agricultural area and the city,
and to the north, a strip for service industries and metropolitan facilities linked to the motorway.
The central park is a ‘remake’ of the agricultural section to be used as natural-urban spaces, leisure
areas and for other programmes, whilst emphasising the water system of the delta and making the
cohabitation of urbanity and nature a reality.

The new EDAR in Perpinyan is located next to the ‘Sant Jacques Gardens’, the kitchen garden of
the city. Rather than create a landscape garden, the proposal is to retain the existing agricultural
landscape with trees that act as windbreaks and parallel lines of fruit trees. The treatment tanks are
repositioned in order that they do not run parallel to the access route, whilst the higher tanks are
situated as far away as possible from the residential area

STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE SEDÓ COLONY, ESPARREGUERA
This plan strives to preserve one of the most noteworthy textile industry colonies of the Llobregat,
which is still operational in the form of workshops and small and medium-sized companies. Apart
from cataloguing the architectural items, renovating the heritage pieces and restoring the workers
blocks to create new protected housing, the project also aims to manage both the relationship with
the landscape of the river bed, and the conversion of the proprietor’s garden into a public park for
new social housing.
LAROQUE DES ALBÈRES CEMETERY(FRANCE)
In a field of well-established cherry trees a hybrid of the northern European tradition of the woodcemetery and the Mediterranean tradition of the building-cemetery is being created which, at the
same time, retains all the natural beauty of this spot. The project is based on two opposing aspects
and geometries, whose very contrast serves to emphasize its identity: straight rows of cherry trees
and the defined, abstract geometry of the cement sepulchres. Seen from the ground, the architecture is carefully enclosed within narrow strips among the cherry trees. Seen from above, the architecture resides beneath a blanket of leaves, thus preserving the visual continuity and the unity of the
space. The path becomes a meadow.

including the re-establishing the allotments above the new complex.

the sculptures on various individual spots according to their size.

The initial proposal for extending the Albera Tortoise Reproduction Centre is to create a miniature
version of a valley of the Serra de les Alberes with its sub-basins and versants. The uneven topography is crossed by means of a one-way ground level walkway which starts from the main building
and is designed to show the different phonological states of this Mediterranean tortoise and other
species.
CAN XARAU PARK COMPETITION OF IDEAS
A ‘remake’ project designed to both integrate sporting facilities and an auditorium and to restore the
façade of the Sec River and thus redesigning the central location of the city. This is a tectonic project
requiring meticulous workmanship with the topography to make the pathway nearer the river bed
and to integrate part of the project beneath the taluses to create viewpoint platforms. There is also
a bridge project to unify the banks of the river Sec and in so doing make it the centre of the project
and turn the façades towards the reclaimed river.
PERPIGNAN CONSERVATORY PROJECT
The garden of the enlarged Perpinyan Conservatory is designed as a tranquil space amidst the urban rush. Firstly, the 1.5m difference in ground level between the surrounding streets and the new
building work becomes a slope with an archipelago of planted areas which act as margins and create
grassy spaces. It is a meditative and calm space, a garden of hidden corners, a meeting place for
neighbours, students and parents; a place of exchanges, a place to improvise a rehearsal or a small
performance or simply a shady place to take a rest.

square suitable for a programme of events. Whilst the surface remains empty, the plans include a
system of suspended cables to support both garland-like lighting and a mobile awning system. These
awnings change their position throughout the year thus adapting to changes in the climate as well as
to the uses and requirements of the square. The interaction awnings - illuminations allow for flexible
adaptations and changing scenic effects.
CASTELL DEL REMEI SPECIAL LANDSCAPING PLAN
A new generation plans use the cellars to combine wine-producing with service industries. An Urban
and Landscape Plan is put together which: first, redirects access and parking to the perimeter thus
leaving the centre car-free to create a new visitor’s route; second, to treat the central space- castle,
hermitage, shop, restaurantas a representative space; three, to convert pools and canals into evocative elements which attract attention; four, to convert a field for grazing into the new entrance
to the area by means of recovering the traditional crops of camomile to create a production-garden
hybrid.
RENOVATION PROJECT OF L’ILLA 1 IL1, THE DEVESA
This project integrates the activities held at the Trade Fair in Girona, which operates for three to six
months of the year, with one of the islands of the most important historical park of Girona, the Devesa. Plans include the gathering and renovation of obsolete structures from the Fair, the definition
of the park’s boundaries and the design for both a new, provisional enclosure and also a new lighting
system for pedestrians as well as for other events that take place in different parts of the park.
LA TANCADA SALT FIELDS EXTERIOR MUSEUM PROJECT
The project is to restore the pools and the building annexes of an old fish farm. It is a museum project
concerning the salt fields and intertidal zone of the Delta de l’Ebre, and it includes both nature and
ethnology. The proposal explores the potential of the ‘liquid landscape’ of the delta, and the programme and museum itineraries are achieved through excavating an archipelago of islands on which the
necessary programmes are located- a parking area, a reception area, demonstrations of the art of
fishing, navigating a punt- and which serve to facilitate visitor access. The remake of some of the salt
fields provides the place with a more central position and a new identity, and also forms part of the
publicity programme.

CAN FRAMIS GARDENS - MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART 22@
BARCELONA
Can Framis garden is designed to contrast with the frenetic pace and the “techno-exhibitionism” of the
22@ neighbourhood. The garden is a defined and contained space, a timeless corner, an urban woodland,
calm and serene. The garden is simple and ‘wild’ with a dense, irregularly-shaped woodland area upon a
subtle sea of ground ivy. The dome of branches creates a unique atmosphere of light, coolness and shade
which serves to fragment the view of the buildings. A choreographed display of bulbs bloom and ‘light up’
the various wooded areas at different times of the year.

Located in front of the municipal library this square is an extraordinarily dynamic garden of the senses
transformed from week to week by new buds, flowers and wilting blooms...
An archipelago of cool, tranquil corners among the vegetation create comfortable spots to read or rest.
Large cement ‘’books” displaying ‘aphorisms’ of the great thinkers identify the gates and the main areas.
Five techniques to minimise water consumption are apparent: an underground deposit to collect water
from the buildings, energy-saving species, flimsy parterres for infiltration, transformation of the soil
using water absorbing gel which consumes 30% less energy, and mulchper to reduce soil transpiration.
TORRENT PARK, L’ILLA AL BRUC
The proposed site for this park is an abandoned field of vines and olive trees. A path winds its way from
one end of the site to the other and connects a series of small, independent but similar architectural features, each with a different use or function.
Every space demonstrates a unique logic born of the intrinsic qualities of that spot: views of Montserrat
and the bridge, the shade beneath a pine grove or an olive tree, the aroma of rosemary and wild thyme,
the proximity of the bridge, the pathways and so on.
Each space has a different use; a children’s playground, benches in a square, a viewpoint, romantic stone
benches, a rest on a divan and sporting activities.
RAIERS PARK, POBLA DE SEGUR
The proposal is to join the historic centre of Pobla de Segur to the new urban areas of the municipality which spread out from the end of the Sant Antoni dam by means of an urban-fluvial park with a
flexible programme. The design of the park is based on the different characteristics and materiality
of the two rivers that flank it, the Noguera Pallaresa, which has a permanent and abundant volume
of water, and the Flamisell, a a torrent for flash floods. Half of the park is the wooded banks of the
river with added features, whilst the other half is a mosaic of meadows like carpets with different
sized pebbles and stones each with a different function and facilities.

GARDENS OF THE RESIDENTIAL AREA, BEGUR
A system of terraces placed between rows of terraced houses provide this garden, an area of extreme topography, with a unique character. The sloping terrain is arranged into sections with successively higher, irregular terraces, evidencing the human intervention in this space. The plantations are
designed to blend in with the undergrowth of the surrounding mountains by mixing native persistents
with other low-maintenance herbaceous plants and Gramineae which require little watering.
RIERA DE LA RASA RE-MODELLING PROJECT. PHASE 1
The Riera de la Rassa winds through several loosely-connected neighbourhoods of Julià de Ramis.
The project proposes to transform the Riera, a drainage structure, into an integrated public area
and a hive of local activity. To this end a new, long, easy path would be built which would follow the
torrent upwards and re-link the neighbourhoods, as well as creating two crossings, a bridge and
ford, two parks, one at the far end and the other joining the widened river. This project would mean
a remodelling of the torrent section as well as extensive tree plantations to transform the currently
two-dimensional torrent into a large three-dimensional arboretum.
COURTYARDS OF CAP DE SALT
A series of linear, enclosed courtyards which cannot be watered or maintained are transformed
through an abstract topography-texture which combines stones from the nearby river Ter with
craters of recycled glass.

Valdebebas is currently a fragmented landscape without expression or identity. However, its central
location in relation to the airport, its orography, the remains of its water system and its wide horizons
combine to provide the basis from which to invigorate the landscape and to become the catalyst for
a better quality of life and prestige for the new neighbourhood. ‘Litoral’ re-energises the landscape
and creates 12 km of new waterways and 4 km of new horizons, thus diversifying conditions for new
uses and housing and helping to forge the identity of the future city based on the two paradigms of
the start of the twenty-first century- water and sustainable energy. Furthermore, it is reminiscent of
the coastline that Madrid has always desired. ‘Litoral’ has made initial proposals for how the park will
be organized while for the rest of the areas the programme is as yet unconfirmed.
LA PINEDA PARK, L’ESTARTIT
La Pineda in l’Estartit is the bond between the urban world with the marshlands of Ter Vell, between
town and nature. It is currently not well-used and there is no link with the promenade. The project
aims to extend the promenade into the pine wood in order to promote this area, to build a new
central zone with facilities including a beach library-children’s play area, a bar and other services.
Further proposals are to construct a system of pathways to highlight the best views of the sea and
the Medes Islands from between the pine trees, to restart the planting of pine trees in the areas
which are bare, and finally to recover the ecosystem of the dunes.

REORGANISATION OF THE BANKS OF THE RIVER TÊT IN PERPIGNAN
This project is designed to restore the river which founded the city to prime position as a public
space by creating continuity of access, recreating the urban network, and redefining centrality and
the urban façade. The project includes the construction of a bridge for pedestrians, new facilitates
on the fluvial axis, the re-urbanisation of the Torcatis Avenue, a new park at the entrance, Claudion
Park, and the construction of Têt Square, a split level riverbank-city space at the foot of the new
footbridge. This project is carried out whilst maintaining the ‘natural’ character of the river bed. At a
supra-municipal level it consolidates the river as a main route for light holiday traffic joining the towns
and villages as for as the sea.
FOOTBRIDGE-BENCH BETWEEN SANT JULIÀ DE RAMIS AND
SARRIÀ DE TER
La Riera de la Rassa separates two municipalities which merge together and share public spaces and
sporting facilities. The footbridge marks where the two villages meet with a railing and a bench right
where everybody passes.
GROUND 0 SQUARE, CARMEL
On 27th January 2005 the collapse of the manoeuvring tunnel of line nine of the Metro caused the
partial collapse of a building, the re-accommodation of 850 people from 200 families and the definitive demolition of four blocks of buildings. The proposal is to fill this empty urban space with a block of
social housing and a civic centre around a new square and to conciliate the two streets which feed it.
The pronounced incline of the Carmel neighbourhood and the need to maintain accessibility means
installing ramps which create a tectonic, centripetal square.
LLIMONER SQUARE. GIRONA
Llimoner Square is the epicentre of the gypsy neighbourhood in Girona. It is one of the most neglected and vandalised areas of the city. The existing square has a 2m difference in level and is broken up
by terraces and walls which make it inaccessible. The proposal includes transforming the terraces
into a set of grades of different heights which open up the space to create a kind of urban ‘stage’
which also incorporates access ramps as a tectonic solution for the 2m level difference. More than
100ml of unvandalizable stone seating is incorporated. Five pagoda trees (Sophores japonica) are
planted to provide cool, light shade.

The idea of this project is to promote and unite the remaining public spaces along the C-255 road
on the section through Celrà, most notably the area of the industrial estate. The first phase is to
create a flowering meadow inspired by ‘Mondrianana’. The second phase, which has not yet been
implemented, is to sign an agreement with the nurseries of the village, which are among the most
important in Spain, to cultivate these spaces in a way that reinforces the identity of Celrà at nil cost
to the municipality.
LANDSCAPING OF ACCESS ROADS TO CADAQUÉS
Cadaqués is arguably the most cinematographic and picturesque village of the Catalan coastline.
This village, second residence of Salvador Dalí and other illustrious painters and artists, has chronic
parking problems. The proposal is to construct a four-storey car park on the existing parking area at
the entrance of the village which will cater to (...) vehicles. This means less congestion for the village,
it separates residents and visitors, empties Riera Street which is currently used for parking, and converts it into a central avenue, “a rambla”, that leads to the centre of the village. The plans also include
building new pavements and managing plantations along the road.
ROUNDABOUT AT THE ENTRANCE TO CADAQUÉS
The middle of the roundabout is suggestive of the landscape of terraces of olive trees and stone walls
which accompanies visitors to the beginning of the village of Cadaquès. This project means carefully
working with the levels and inclines of the walls to create a dynamic perception of the space.

LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY OBSERVATORY PROTOCOL OF THE TERRITORY AND LANDSCAPE FOUNDATION
Based on the protocol of the Landscape Photography Observatory of the Ministry of the Environment in France, this is a tool to make periodic inventories of the condition of the landscape, and
also the flora and fauna, in the Territory and Landscape Foundation reserves. By first establishing
a georeferenced itinerary of Landscape Observation Stations, a periodic calendar is then designed
which varies according to the time cycle- be it 24 hours, four seasons, annual or 5-yearly-, the locality, place-specific topics, general panoramas, characteristic spaces or spaces in danger of undergoing
possible future, abrupt changes.

Signposting is one of the most practical tools for managing areas used by the public and also for
explaining the value of a spot. Bearing this in mind, the Territory and Landscape Foundation has
designed its own integral system of signposting for natural and rural spaces based on three principles: institutional identity and association with a particular natural and landscape leisure opportunity,
integration with the environment, and resistance and ease of construction.

OUTDOOR FURNITURE PROJECTS OF LES GAVARRES
After first making a careful selection of resistant material both suitable for outdoor use and of a high
quality, a proposal for a basic series of furniture for parks and natural spaces is made. The design is
founded on three basic principles, integration with the environment, resistance and ease of construction.
CATALUNYA CAIXA VIEWPOINTS
A singular assignment to design a series of pieces of outdoor furniture able to shape a network of
viewpoints and landscape interpretation spots with different capacities and facilitates. These pieces
of furniture must integrate with the different landscapes, be highly resistant and need practically no
maintenance.
The idea is to design a ‘kit’ of modular pieces which can be put together and combined n infinite
ways to be determined by the place and the use to which the furniture would be put. The pieces
are designed according to different needs: milestones, boundary posts, seats, tables, information
support and interpretative artefacts.

With 72 hours and 1500 Australian dollars, ten teams of ten people from different places and in various professions are challenged to redesign ten spaces assigned by the Port of Melbourne. The Docklands is the most important urban revival project of the last ten years and for the next 20. Despite
finding itself in the most privileged place the city, the project has become a notorious failure in terms
of creating a space for citizens and dividing it for different uses. Team 1 responds to the challenge by
proposing a ‘dream spot’: they want to turn a beach which is currently polluted into a place where
you can swim in crystal-clear waters; a beach for everyone, without exception. Postcards of the
mythical ‘Sunset beach’ are given to neighbours to publicise their proposal.

Exterior Museum project
The project is to restore the pools
and the building annexes of an old fish
farm. It is a museum project concerning the salt fields and intertidal zone
of the Delta de l’Ebre, and it includes
both nature and ethnology. The proposal explores the potential of the ‘liquid landscape’ of the delta, and the
programme and museum itineraries
are achieved through excavating an
archipelago of islands on which the
necessary programmes are located- a parking area, a reception area,
demonstrations of the art of fishing,
navigating a punt- and which serve to
facilitate visitor access. The remake
of some of the salt fields provides the
place with a more central position
and a new identity, and also forms
part of the publicity programme.
LIFE restoration project
The project aims to transform the
pools of an old fish factory into a habitat of littoral, tidal lakes. One condition of the project is to preserve
both existing populations of Spanish
toothcarp (Aphanius iberus), which is
at risk of extinction all over the world,
and the protected flora, Limonium
sp, thus creating tidal lakes with a habitat for aquatic birds. The different
requirements in terms of depth, isolation and slopes, mean that the section of earth breakwaters between
pools is remodelled to diversify the
amount of flooding and thus create
an archipelago of tidal islands.

The industrial estate of Mas Orline
marks the southern gateway to the
city from the A9 and is situated on an
agricultural plane of vines and fruit
trees. French law requires that the
impact of the impermeabilization of
the soil caused by urbanisation be
reduced by building ‘retention bases’
which accumulate and then let the
rainwater slowly drain away over a
period of 48 hours. Contrary to the
usual solution in similar cases where
a large pool is created at the lowest
point of the industrial estate, ZAC
Orline proposes to build a series of
more superficial rib or finger-shaped pools which not only manage
rainwater but also form strips of
wooded areas which help the environmental and ecological integration
of the industrial estate.

The littoral zone is that part of
the sea that is close to the shore,
where land meets water. The horizon is where the gaze sees the
earth join the earth and the sky.
These are the ecotons that define
spaces with enormous social, environmental and landscape surplus value. Nowadays, the park is a scenic
deposit of drinkable water, very popular with visitors but untouchable.
Within the context of the dry landscape of central Catalonia, the proposal
is to expand and ‘activate’ the water
through a seasonal programme.
The initial ‘pack’ is a swimming pool
complex, a place of mist and ice,
fountains, pots, aquatic gardens, fun
canals and waterfalls. At the same
time, the park is linked to the surrounding agricultural terrain and
neighbouring towns and villages.

In a field of well-established cherry
trees a hybrid of the northern European tradition of the wood-cemetery
and the Mediterranean tradition of
the building-cemetery is being created which, at the same time, retains
all the natural beauty of this spot.
The project is based on two opposing aspects and geometries, whose
very contrast serves to emphasize
its identity: straight rows of cherry
trees and the defined, abstract geometry of the cement sepulchres.
Seen from the ground, the architecture is carefully enclosed within
narrow strips among the cherry
trees. Seen from above, the architecture resides beneath a blanket
of leaves, thus preserving the visual
continuity and the unity of the space.

Phase 3
La Pineda in l’Estartit is the bond
between the urban world with the
marshlands of Ter Vell, between
town and nature. It is currently not
well-used and there is no link with
the promenade.
The project aims to extend the promenade into the pine wood in order
to promote this area, to build a new
central zone with facilities including
a beach library-children’s play area, a
bar and other services.
Further proposals are to construct a
system of pathways to highlight the
best views of the sea and the Medes
Islands from between the pine trees,
to restart the planting of pine trees
in the areas which are bare, and finally to recover the ecosystem of the
dunes.

Project management in the long term. The Têt as a central axis of the open spaces of the city
This project is designed to restore
the river which founded the city to
prime position as a public space by
creating continuity of access, recreating the urban network, and redefining centrality and the urban façade.
Initial state 2007.
The project includes the construction of a bridge for pedestrians, new
facilitates on the fluvial axis, the reurbanisation of the Torcatis Avenue,
a new park at the entrance, Claudion
Park, and the construction of Têt
Square, a split level riverbank-city
space at the foot of the new footbridge.
This project is carried out whilst
maintaining the ‘natural’ character
of the river bed. At a supra-municipal level it consolidates the river as
a main route for light holiday traffic
joining the towns and villages as for
as the sea.

Initial state
Llimoner Square is the epicentre of
the gypsy neighbourhood in Girona. It
is one of the most neglected and vandalised areas of the city. The existing
square has a 2m difference in level
and is broken up by terraces and walls
which make it inaccessible.
The proposal includes transforming
the terraces into a set of grades of
different heights which open up the
space to create a kind of urban ‘stage’
which also incorporates access ramps
as a tectonic solution for the 2m
level difference. More than 100ml of
unvandalizable stone seating is incorporated. Five pagoda trees (Sophores
japonica) are planted to provide cool,
light shade.

Territorial scheme
In a neighbourhood in expansion the possibility of programming a park at two different velocities is being considered: the
basic network and individual plots.
The network takes advantage of the
fluxes and concentrates 90 % of the
initial investment into 50% of the
surface area. The appropriation of
the place begins and time will dictate the conditions for the rest of
the space, which is occupied by individual plot for various future uses.
Photomontage
Bird’s eye view of the proposal
These begin as extensive agricultural crop zones or low-cost forest
plantations and become a prestructured landscape. Its creation
is progressive, depending on later
investment and according to the assignations of an evolving programme.

Gallecs, like other rural metropolitan
spaces, is no longer just a rural space
but is now a place where urban leisure coexists with agriculture.
The four objectives are to promote
its landscape heritage; to provide
new opportunities for leisure activities; to reconcile leisure activities
and the surroundings; and to root
the area into its local and metropolitan context.
Improvements in the landscape
Furthermore, the project includes a
series of strategic proposals to give
the area its own identity and to provide it with unique possibilities for
leisure, as well as ways to improve
connections with neighbouring municipalities and to increase its capacity.
Lastly, plans include the task of promotion and how to attract users.

The Pla de les Alzines, apart from
being the gateway to the Iberian
village of Puig Castellar, which dates from the sixth to the third century BC, is also a viewpoint which
provides a privileged view of the
Mediterranean and the mouth of
the river Besòs. The area receives visitors and it is here that the
Iberian market is periodically held.
The reorganisation project proposes a confined and essentially bare
esplanade with shady spots and a
viewpoint-stage, and with heavy
benches distributed in a way that
signposts the archaeological remains.

This is an extremely low-cost project
which, with the pedagogic resources
to explain the stone of Girona and
its quarry, allows us to rediscover
this mountain, which has been forgotten for decades, and is a fantastic
viewpoint of the city at barely 15 minutes from the centre.
Plans include:

After first making a careful selection of resistant material both suitable for outdoor use and of a high
quality, a proposal for a basic series
of furniture for parks and natural
spaces is made.
The design is founded on three
basic principles:
• integration with the environment
• resistance
• ease of construction

These pieces of furniture must integrate with the different landscapes,
be highly resistant and need practically no maintenance.

Criterion.
To synthesize different typologies of viewing-points .
The idea is to design a ‘kit’ of modular pieces which can be put together
and combined n infinite ways to be
determined by the place and the use
to which the furniture would be put.
The pieces are designed according
to different needs: milestones, boundary posts, seats, tables, information
support and interpretative artefacts
