The main goal was developing recreational areas, not only involved in day-to-day life but in cultural activities. Due to this fact, the project is built in different height layers surrounded by green walls. A series of spaces whose characteristics and categories stimulate the development of neighborhood assemblies, parties, exhibitions and meetings.
