Skateboard + Irrigation System
In this axonometric we see the irrigation system morphing into a skateboard path as well as a seating area. This seamless design tries to blend in with nature and water offering a unique space for all species, human and non-human,
Gardens + Pond + Nature This area is dedicated to nature with a focus on gardening and ponds.
Sunken Skateboard Area + Playground + Fountains This area offers multiple activities at the same time from skateboarding to a playground. It has the ability to change into a ice rink in the winter too!

Irrigation system transforms into a table that hosts the food area Reviving the existing open-air theatre by using it as a seating area and hosting events
Puerta del Angel left alone as a multipurpose area complimented by the interventions
Food kiosks that connect both theatres together and use supply from surrounding gardens

a site that adapts to different seasonal conditions hosting events around Madrid to keep it alive all-year-round
Seasonal Use of Site For maximum efficiency of site use, we propose the hosting of current Madrid events at different times of the year to ensure all-year-round livelihood of site and adaptation to climate Pavilions and indoor facilities Summer: Veranos de la Villa Winter: Constitution Day, Christmas, Dia de los Reyes Dia de los Santos Inocentes, New Year's
better model of street distribution where the water collection system and vegetation allow for the creation of micro-ecosystems along the pathways hosting humans and different animals
creating open infrastructure that allows nature to grow freely and unpredictably and attracts animals

Climate has immense affect on the ecology of an area in many aspects. A few to consider would be the degree of shadow that the sun altitude and height of on-site objects create. Consider how this relationship could affect the growth of nature and human activities/behaviour. What is more, each material reacts differently to sunlight. Like many built up urban areas, the term “heat island” is a well known phenomena that demonstrates how material heat capacity can affect the air temperature. Observe the trend of highest heat capacity to lowest and notice that natural elements regulate temperature while man-made material performs the opposite.

two main water sources
This is a field guide for arbitrary and non-arbitrary water sources through the classification of these water sources into man-made or natural, temporary or permanent. Then looking closely to who are the users of such water bodies (human or animals). Several streams run through these valleys until they flow into the Manzanares. Most of them are seasonal and are born within the park. Only two of these streams, which originate further west, have permanent water: Meaques , to the south, the main one, and Antequina, to the north.
