Quinta do Jardim

A Park for walking, running, cycling;
climbing, scaling;

A Park for discovering the biodiversity of native vegetation and the diversity of regional fruit tree varieties;

A Park as a space for social encounters through horticultural practice and nature sports;

The Parque Urbano Quinta do Jardim comes out during the prelimitar study with a dual ambition; on one hand, to strengthen the ecological structure at the municipal scale by promoting the creation of a new public green space in the northeastern part of the city. On the other, to ensure the presence of a park close to existing and planned residential developments. Finally, by intersecting these two goals, the aim is to create a park with a distinctive vocation, where issues related to Public Health, Nature Sports, and Food become structuring vectors, making it unique within the context of the City’s Parks.  

The Valley Path as the connecting thread between the various Ecologies and Places of the Park. The Garden Park appears in the preliminary competition program with a dual ambition.

On one hand, to consolidate the ecological structure at the municipal scale, promoting the creation of a new public green space to the northeast of the city.

On the other hand, to ensure the existence of a park close to existing and planned residential developments.

Conceived as a place for observing natural ecosystems and geological features on the eastern and western slopes, combined with the reactivation of an agricultural structure along the valley — an area that once sustained such activity — while simultaneously offering an urban response complementary to the residential vocation that this area of the city has been developing.
