The site history and cultural tradition is being use as a reference to develop the proposal. It is very important the images of other well kept heathlands in Galicia and the images of the galician pastures have inspired the new planting for the Cidade da Cultura and immediate surrounding.

	The project for the Cidade da Cultura plays with the duality between building and mountain, natural and built. We find fascinating the line that divides the wild from the designed natural planting, the implications that planting design has in national identity and culture and tried to use thouse themes to achieve an sustainable and visually rich planting~~.

We find fascinating the line that divides the wild from the designed natural planting, the implications that planting design has in national identity and culture and tried to use thouse themes to achieve an sustainable and visually rich planting.

	The heathland on the hillside is restored; selected groups of native trees as oaks, birch and also pine are kept but generally the maintenance work put emphasis on create a open scrubland. Access to people will be confined to the paths that will take pedestrians to the building on the top of the hill.		The heathland on the hillside is restored; selected groups of native trees as oaks, birch and also pine are kept but generally the maintenance work put emphasis on create a open scrubland. Access to people will be confined to the paths that will take pedestrians to the building on the top of the hill.

	The areas around the Cidade da Cultura where the heathland is being completely erased will be landscape using various planting communities. The car park will have a tree canopy. Below the trees the green areas will be planted with a medium high field (around 60cm tall) native perennials and annual native species. The green areas that are not part of the carpark and do not required the canopy, will be landscaped using taller species (120cm) and the margins will be a combination of those tall indigenous species and scrubs as Ulex and Ericas arboreas that help to merge this with the ºrestoredº heathland.

	Traditionally the hill side was a cultivated Erica–Calluna-ulex heathland , integral part of the local farming tradition. The initial ideas for the hill side were only consider at competition level and are being reconsider since then. No work has being done to it yet . This area is being seriously damage as is being use as back yard for the building works and various temporary building site roads and water reservoirs had being constructed.
