Proposal Traditionally, the urban park is always inserted as a
discontinuity of the built order, read in plan and experienced in
three-dimensional space as a piece of land subtracted from the city for
the simulation of a “natural” order. Yet in the conditions of the
contemporary city, an ever-increasing need for green space is met with a
decreasing availability of open land. This project proposes an extreme
solution within the parameters of the competition: a park-for-one, a
garden for individual and private relaxation and the momentary break
from the urban environment, opening the senses to the intensified
stimulation of nature in a simulated ecosystem of 15 square meters. In
other words, the project attempts to repeat the operation of subtraction
of urban fabric and its replacement with “nature” at the scale of a
small capsule. Like an oasis in a desert (a secluded, self-contained and
self-sufficient environment surrounded by dry land) this experimental
green space is isolated from the city by dense vegetation and fully
enclosed in glass.Membership Just like there are public telephones, WC cabins,
velib or metro stations strategically located around the city, there can
exist a network of mini-parks that can be used for a maximum of 30
minutes by any member with an access card. Simply sign up online to get
your card. Log on to check availability of a park near you. Swipe your
card and walk inside, leave the city behind. Sit back and enjoy the
fresh air. This condensed garden, a park for one, provides a momentary
pause from the city within the city.Performance The urban
oasis serves the double function of individual leisure and environmental
device. Each glass box can capture and retain rainwater, use it for
irrigation, filter and return the rest to the city’s water supply, as
well as filter and purify city air. Sealed glass and a system of
mechanical louvers control temperature, creating a microclimate that
guarantees a green space 365 days a year.
