The project proposes to transform a derelict urban surface
into a new cultural landscape that provides the city with a new high quality
fine grain open space, complimentary to the adjacent Alameda Park; a new urban
piece that can act as a catalyzer for future urban transformations in the
Alameda district. The project transforms the old plaza into three new
interconnected spaces, an open lawn that faces the existing park, a new courtyard
and gallery space that redefine the entry to the existing underground theater
and an elevated platform that hold a small botanical garden made up of endemic
Andean species. These three elements act as anchors for a multiplicity of
social and cultural activities to unfold within the spaces of the project.
