Sai Van Urban Park
Macao
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2006
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
The arrival structures of Sai Van Bridge—the main bridge body and its viaducts—can be found adjacent to Nam Van Square (check our other projects). The bridge is a massive structure with a double tunnel underneath and comes to land on the narrow strip of reclaimed land that separates Sai Van Lake from the river bed.
In the Sai Van Park project, the objective was to transform some five disconnected traffic islands on both sides of the main circular road into a continuous public space. This was achieved through a clever use of sections. We used a reverse strategy of the unleveled spaces in Portuguese maritime cities: we created our connection through the buildup of topography over flat land.
The resulting design is another urban hybrid: a park surrounding a highway. It is our tribute to the local strategies of exploitation of space and the capacity of adaptation to atypical conditions and it resulted in the transformation of leftover space into public place. The park offers varied spaces to allow for several types of occupation, from fishing to jogging.
A few years after its construction, the Sai Van urban park has been partially demolished, and altered, but the spirit of the original endeavor still persists.
