Jardín Ciudadano
Monterrey, Mexico
In downtown Monterrey, where a refuge is needed between day to day chaos, there was going to be a parking lot, now lies an intimate garden of 120 sf.
This garden can be transliterated as a house with a central courtyard, where the center lawn expresses the idea of an open and social space, free of program and flexible to be used in different ways. In their corners, four niches contain the patio, each one with its own character and responding to its surroundings. These four spaces generate an atmosphere of intimacy, a refuge contained by natural limits. The landscape is the material that allows us to understand how to inhabit space.
The character of a garden allows for intimate spaces, profuse vegetation that serves as boundaries and guides, semi-labyrinthine paths, discovering and contemplating the shadows, transitions from large to small spaces, discovering surprises in the routes, finding planes of light and shadow, the ability to tell stories, and the opportunity to stop and linger in quiet places with a lot to say. Its matter is alive; it grows, reacts, changes its smells, colors and shapes. It becomes a new citizen.
This project is a different approach to downtown living. A common meeting space with the possibility of sharing ideas, getting to know each other, expressing ourselves and improving as citizens, but also with the possibility of experiencing a world of silence and mystery. When history is rejected, the search for memory is rejected and it causes detachment from human qualities. The Jardín Ciudadano is the reflection of the struggle to promote spaces that people can remember, value, and share with new generations, intended not only as places of leisure or recreation, but also as places of contemplation, permanence, and identity.
