Rural park in Rubena
Rubena, Spain
The
environment of the fountain of Rubena, a small village near Burgos, is a place
linked to inherited forms of life in the past. It contains a potro (horseshoeing structure) and a washing
shed, and the birth of a stream running through the center carrying water to a
set of gardens, while defining the way of access. The use of space was not
feasible in many cases due to lack of soil drainage in the vicinity of the fountain
and the growth of weeds in the path along the stream.We propose an approach to the project from the
perspective of the incorporation of a piece of natural landscape to the urban
core. The intervention enhances the landscape values of an environment near a
small town and turns it into a park with reduced resources connected to the urban
fabric.
Different levels of reading the history of the place
should be put in value to make them visible. Reflection prior to the project
focuses more on the historical and social aspects than in materials, for the
aim is to understand the essence of the place. With this level of knowledge it
is possible to provide an effective response to the current needs of the
population. If there is social acceptance, the area will recover a use and the
intervention will be sustainable.
The intervention recovers elements, controls
vegetation and treats subtly the ground level to promote accessibility. A
minimal intervention treatment has highlighted the existing structure
associated with the course of water: fountain, washing shed and river bed. The
edge of the creek has become a place for public use, creating a promenade with
landscaping treatment: longitudinal pieces of concrete on the floor for easy
accessibility and maintenance, and treatment of white limestone gabions
highlight the route of the water and are at the same time an invitation to
rest. It also involved recovering the old potro
and clarifying the image of the building that houses the fountain.
The result of the intervention
is to introduce a minimum proportion of artificiality through urbanization to
highlight the natural qualities of a landscape by shifting their perception and
carrying it out from urban. The space is back in use and the route of the fountain
has been recovered as a passage and social relationship way.
