Rationale: Why is this case interesting?
The former landfill Zámbiza located northeast of the city of Quito since 2003 works as a garbage transfer station (after being the city landfill about 25 years). For the specific conditions of landfill, this site has become contamination risk for the city, so I see an opportunity for environmental improvement by the accumulation of methane gas, through a proposed ecological park and to recover the area through green infrastructure
Author's perspective
I´m architect who have lived near to this landfill for many years, in my thesis is proposed a infrastructure like a recycle museum with classroom for making art with garbage. I think that It is important to complete this project with an adequate ecological intervention that will integrate this area with the city.
