Client
Fundación Metrópoli, Madrid. Fundación Metrópoli belongs to the emerging generation of 'intellectual capital institutions' dedicated to creating and sharing knowledge towards building a sustainable future.

The brief
To design a linear riverbed park to link interior eco-development with coastal systems and design a park around a sustainable eco-development.

The design
Parque de Cataluña – the design is based on the indigenous habitats of Cataluña and the natural fluvial patterns of the riverbed course – temporary interactive stormwater ponds are strategically located to enhance the visitor experience and create landscape diversification.

Parc de les Arts – terraced beds of indigenous plants for flower cultivation/production and allotments for food production for eco-restaurants are all linked by an interactive sculpture trail partially covered by 'living' hanging trellis systems.
