Territorial context and landscape features description

The parks site is located adjacent to the South-East end of the city, between an industrial area, which is nowadaysin process of transformation into a housing and facilities area, and the railway tracks. The area is crossed along,and cut in three, by the ring highway and the river Guadara. This river is here in its lower course, close to its mouthinto the Guadalquivir River, and there are two historic water mills located within this river section: the San Juan delos Teatinos Watermill, still up, but in severe condition and the Judea Watermill, which was demolished in the past.The project considered the strategical renewal of the Teatinos Mill area as a key operation for the whole park. TheJudea mill was excavated as well. Thus, the site has an important heritage value and the project tries to enlighten it

to easily be apprehended by the citizens.

The site presented serious urban and landscaped pathologies. The adjacent urban area constitutes the urbanborder of the city and uses are violently mixed up without the necessary urban coherence, including industrial use,housing or social facilities. The river itself, as the project developing began, was degraded due to the industrial andurban discharge poured from nearby towns, and lots of waste materials had accumulated on its riversides.

The infrastructures split up the site in several unconnected straps, the area presented also severe deforestationand was scenario for tremendous social problems. Territorial fragmentation, deep social marginality and landscapedegradation were the most relevant features for the starting point condition of an area with a great landscapepotential, heritage value and capacity to articulate the urban border.

Global action evaluation. Integration of landscape criteria (art 10 European Landscape Convention)

The main aim of the proposal was to reach a greater landscape coherence across the territory straps that initially

conformed the site. The across permeability has increased significantly and the whole area is now able to beapprehended as a coherent landscape unit around the river. The park has actually built the citys end up to the river,creating a sponge area that softens the urban frictions and assure the permanent affluence of public. The precisionin the geometric insertion of the vegetation has clearly contributed to establish a balanced transition of the city intoterritory.

Native vegetal species insertion and hydraulic recovery of the whole area have finally created a sustainableenvironment, both natural and sociocultural, that integrates nature and the human dimension that territory shouldnever be indifferent to.

As it has been already said, the general layout that can be observed from the elevated train allows citizens to havean idea of the whole intervention as a unit, which contributes to a better understanding and the popularization of thepark.

The actual environmental recovery of the riversides has exceeded the best initial expectations of the proposal, andthe area is now a living space, where autochthonous flora and fauna are thriving in a perfect coexistence withcontemporary operations and heritage items.

The city has finally recognized in the Guadaira river one of its most important structuring elements, and the greensequence of parks that follow the river course has become not only a great green lung for the city, but also one ofits main public recreation areas.
