| PARQUE URBANO CENTRAL |
|||||
| INTRODUCTION THE CENTRAL URBAN PARK IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MUNCIPAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, IS DEFINED AS A STRUCTURAL PROJECT OF LA PAZ CITY. PROJECT FORMULTED BY THE NATURAL PATRIMONY PLAN, CONTAINED IN THE IDENTITY AND PATRIMONY PLAN, THIS PROJECT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED DURING THE NEXT 5 YEARS. The spirit of the project The city and the park. The Cental Urban Park is constituted as a new scenario for the revitalization and renovation for contemporary La Paz. From the heart of the city, it will impulse the creation of a new urban center that will integrate the fragmented city, allowing the recovery and recycling a natural and cultural space to the service of its inhabitants. 60 hectares of integral urban intervention, are an opportunity for the qualitative transformation of its image, life quality and projection to the future. By its configuration as a basin and singular geomorphologic characteristics these slopes have maintained as a natural void -even though the urban growth, the invations and the edile pressure - turning it into a marginal space, clandestine, degraded and even invisible to those who fleetingly cross it. This vegetation mass, generator of the "inter" green urban structure, will infiltrate the natural landscape over the built urban surface. The central urban park is located in the geographical center of the city, but the city ignores it, turning its back to it, which results in a space with great potential because of its location and significant presence. The regeneration of this space and its roll as new urban centrality will concentrate a nucleus of cultural, educational and recreational activities, linking and providing facilities that the city demands. This public space, will become an articulator capable of organizing the city and uniting its imaginary and physical fragments (north, south, east and west) and in return the city will come to the park, where encounters of cultures and communities will in return take place. THE DESIRED IMAGE The desired image is the result of a process of inquiry, systematized, that identifies existing perceptions and images that were called "negative" to be reverted and "positive" to be potentialized; and new elements to be incorporated, that will imprint a contemporary image on the park, from the components of the park: natural, tangible, and intangible. FINAL OBJECTIVE OF THE COMPETITION Achieve a project of high architectonic, landscape and urban design quality, that will become a landmark for La Paz. Constituting itself in a patrimonial legacy that assumes the architecture and the urbanism as cultural facts, and important resources for the integral development of the contemporary city.

Create a new urban centrality that will concentrate a nucleous of educational, cultural, and recreational activities.
