IMPERMANENCE PARK

THE CHALLENGE WAS TO DESIGN AN INSTI-TUTION WITHIN A PARK SPACE THAT SHOWED A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SURROINDING COMMUNITY.

I CHOSE TO USE LANDFORMS, CANTILEVERS,TERRACED GARDENS AND SOIL REMEDIATION TO TEACH THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THEIR CONNECTION TO NATURE.

IMPERMANENCE PARK PRO-VIDES GAINESVILLE A WAY TO EXPRESS ITSELF AND TO LEARN THE PROCESS OF BIO REMEDIATION. THE 1,000 S.F. BIOREMEDIATION LAB IS A LIVING MACHINE. THE LANDFORM, THAT IS THE STRUCTURE HOLDS MODU-LAR COMPARTMENTS FOR SOILS WITH DIFFERENT CON-TAMINATION LEVELS. MANY SPECIES OF PLANTS ARE IN-STALLED AND GLASS WATER LINES CONSTANTLY SHOW THE TRANSLUCENCY OF THE RUNOFF WATER. THE PUBLIC CAN SEE THE SOILS BECOM-ING CLEANER WITH TIME. THE CANTILEVER AND IM-PRESSED PLAZA INVITE VIS-ITORS TO REPOSE AND EN-JOY THE PARKS FUNCTION. A TERRACED MEDUL DATE PALM GARDEN WRAPS THE VISITORS IN A DRAMATIC DISPLAY OF NATURES BEAU-TY.

RIO DE JANEIRO IS A VIBRANT CULTURAL HUB. ITS DENSE URBAN LIFE HAS MUL-TIPLE FORMS OF TRANSPORTATION AND GREENSPACES THAT ARE LOUDLY AND PROUDLY DESIGNED. I ANALYSED THE URBAN AND GREEN SPACES OF RIO DE JANEIRO. THE EXPLORATION BROUGHT ME TO UNDERSTAND THE CULTURAL EX-PRESSION OF THE AREA. STUDYING THE ART AND LITERATURE OF ROBERTO BUR-LE MARX INDOCTRINATED ME INTO THE BEAUTY OF THE CITY AND ITS NATURAL SPACES.

THE URBAN BLOCK IN RIO DE JANEIRO IS A COLORFUL EMULATION OF ITS PEOPLE. SHOPS AND CAFES LINE THE BASE OF MIX USE HIGH RISES. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS AVAILABLE AND PUBLIC ART BRINGS THE SPACE TO LIFE.

PARQUE DU FLAMENGO IS MORE THAN THREE MILES LONG. IN IT IS A SKATE PARK, TENNIS COURTS AND SOCCER FIELDS, MUSEUMS, AND MEMORIALS. PEOPLE ARE ATTRACTED TO THESE PUBLIC AMENITIES BY THE CURVEY MOSAIC PATTERN THAT LINES THE PARK. THE PARK HAS MUTLIPLE USES AND OPENS THE WATERFRONT TO THE PUBLIC.

WISDOM PARK THROUGH THE USE OF EFFIGY,TIME, AND MAN’S RELATIONSHIPTO THE EARTH, I DEVELOPEDA PARK THAT ALLUDES TO MAN’S JOURNEY FROM INFANCY TO ADULTHOOD. MOVING THROUGH THE PARK THERE ARE THREEMAIN SPACES. THESE SPACESRISE OUT OF THE EARTH, AS AN EFFIGY THAT RELATES TO THELANDS NATIVE AMERICAN ROOTS.EACH SPACE SHOWS DIFFERENT COMPLEXITIES AND INTRICACIES. OVER TIME, MAN BECOMES WISER OUR KNOWLEDGE INCREASES, SO TO DO THESE SPACES: THEYINCREASE IN COMPLEXITY.
