CALEIDO PARK

The design takes into consideration the current premises, such as its characteristic topography, to create a green area that connects its surrounding urban fabric and the distribution of people flows to the various public spaces in the area.

The essence of the park’s design and its unique character arises from the need to provide physical and formal continuity to an urban space located between two very different urban entities. It is set on a nonexistent, completely degraded topography, located between two environments with a maximum level difference of approximately 10.6 metres.

The Park and the urbanised areas of plot P5 complement each other in a unified design, each influenced by urban or natural concepts. Both projects share a purpose and enhance each other, thus creating a single urban entity along with the four towers, enhanced by its island condition and the uniqueness of its skyline. Areas that will now be characterised as a grand carpet of continuity in the human-scale urban fabric, aligned with the tiled roofs that continue to characterise Madrid and its inhabitants.

One of the fundamental generating concepts of the Park project is the idea of providing continuity and enhancing the natural environment in which the Park is set. The idea of the landscape value of the city’s urban environment represents a clear commitment to the humanisation of the city, a return to more integrative concepts of human settlements in the territory, and concepts associated with citizens’ emotional health and sustainable interaction with the natural environment.
The consolidation of landscape value arises from the spatial continuity of natural elements in the surroundings, selection of species from natural meadows, ground covers, shrubs, and tree species native to the biotope in which we are located, with specific environmental conditions. Thus, we provide continuity to the territory in the city, making citizens part of the natural environment where they live, understanding the logic of nature and the climate, the seasons, the colours, smells, and forms characteristic of the native landscape. A formal but also psychological, sustainable, and economic coherence.
