A small space to recover in Hudson
Name | A small space to recover in Hudson | |
Location | Guillermo Hudson, Buenos Aires | |
Country | Argentina | |
Authors | Gisela De Santo | |
<googlemap version="0.9" lat=(-34.81417575407318) lon= (-58.180131101388554) type="satellite" zoom="13" width="300" height="250" selector="no" controls="small"> </googlemap> Rationale: Why is this case interesting?Please give a short introduction to the site you have selected (not more than 150 words)
New real estate developments of the last 10 years were generating population growth and needs in the area of Guillermo Hudson. This sub-urban area is 30 km from Buenos Aires City, linked by Buenos Aires-La plata highway. In particular an area (about 3,2 km long and 32 meters wide) has a non paved road parallel to the highway. Spontaneous flora grows due to poor maintenance. Free portions of the space have trees. Noises and pollution are important issues. It became an area for different, spontaneous and simultaneous uses without organization of space. Activities include: people performing aerobic training, walking, bicycling, coexisting with cars and cargo vehicles. The road is closed when it rains. Garbage is dumped at the site and remains there for months. I live near here and I transit this place every day wondering why it is not a better quality and safe place. The area has a high potential to be organized in aspects like functionality, pleasure, safeness and recovery of a natural green landscape.
Author's perspectiveFrom which professional background/perspective are your documenting this case? Landscape and/or urban context of your case
Analytical drawingsPlease add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case and take the following aspects into account:
Projective drawings
I wish to see a different place as soon as possible. A place more enjoyable for people and safe also. Paved road is a must for people displacement going to work, training and vehicles of neighbourhood that need this road to reach highway , their homes and other places (like the office centre and also an school). Respect the footpath that people spontaneously created. It is a way to say ¨this place was designed by you also and you are part of it¨ Also it is an opportunity to revalue nice local flora using trees like Salix, Erytrina crista galli, Blepharocalyx salcifolius, Schinus Molle, Tacoma Stans, Celtis Tala, bushes like feijoa sellowiana,calliandra tweedii, herbaceus like cortadeira sellowana, salvias and palms like Syagrus rosmarinifolia. Using this flora we can favour fauna: birds, insects and microorganisms that establish an ecosystem. Functional, beautiful place and ecological as well.
Summary and conclusionPlease summarize your case and give arguments for your projective design (approx 150 words). Image GalleryYou may add a series of images/photos in addition to the sketches/drawings
