„Parc del Nord“ in Sabadell

The project P.A.R.C for the Parc del Nord de Sabadell has been selected for 1st prize among 33 proposals. The proposed design aims to recover the ancient Torrent del Capellà, today occupied by residual anthropic constructions, as the natural corridor for water and biodiversity in the north of Sabadell. The regenerated landscape, is grounded in a topographic reconfiguration whereby depressions are designed for water retention and are outlined by a woodland landscape. This sunken area frames the park’s central path and creates the core space for recreation and activities. Raised areas at the interface with the urban realm include Mediterranean woodland planting which borders the entrances to the neighborhoods in proximity to the park. At the intersections between the central promenade and the perpendicular connecting paths, a genesis of minimal architectures will assemble the parks activities. These evolving structures are designed to be able to grow and incorporate technological advances according park users demands now and into the future.
