Tafi del Valle project

Idea projektu

This project proposes the revaluation and urban regeneration of a historically and symbolically significant site through the creation of a public and multifunctional space. It aims to enhance the cultural identity of the area, reestablish the connection between the urban fabric and the native heritage, and promote social integration through architecture and landscape design. The project emphasizes the integration of natural and built environments while fostering community engagement and memory preservation.

Popis projektu

The project includes the development of several interconnected zones: A commercial sector, providing economic activity and local commerce. A dry plaza for public gatherings and events. A pedestrian bridge that crosses below a highway to improve accessibility. An accessible green terrace that functions as a public park. A cultural sector, which may include spaces for exhibitions, performances, and community events. Multiple parking zones, including an underground parking lot. A gastronomic area to support local culinary initiatives. A monument to the Indigenous people, acting as a central cultural and symbolic element. The intervention promotes fluid pedestrian circulation, visibility of key landmarks, and accessibility for all users.
