EXISTING LAND USE
FUNCTIONAL INTEGRATION
FUNCTION COMPLETION
The site mainly includes six types of land: industrial storage, cultural and sports, municipal public, residencial, commercial and public green spaces. These lands should be fully integrated in a certain system.
The existing architectural styles are mainly divided into four types: traditional gothic architecture, popular traditional French dwellings, a kind of modernism style and, for last, a new era style with high-tech material. 1- The architecture of this area is mixed with modern and traditional style, with high mixing degree and complete style. 2- This fast area of the architectural style is very different, the competition is colourful, and has no connection with other plot of the building style. 3- The architecture of this area is the modern style of the 20th century, focusing on structure and space system, without attractive appearance.
The upper part of the block has very clear texture, and the intersection of streets and squares has obvious combinations. There are two main enclosures of city buildings: one is the surrounding type and the other is the point concentration.
Type 1
Type 2
The landscape system of the plot mainly consists of three axes: the axis of the central artery, the axis of the man-made lake and the green axis along the river. The rail transit lines obstruct the continuity of the view, making the landscape and central axis of the riverbank less attractive from each other. As an artificial landscape, the museum is a landmark building, but the front space blocks the view.
Type 3
accessbility // mobility // DIVERSITY // sustainability The new development is characterized by HIGH CLASS/HIGH COST ARCHITECTURE. This highly restricts the amount of people who can afford to live in the area and COMPROMISES DIVERSITY. The urban development and life quality is linked to the different possible ways to REACH THE CONFLUENCE AREA AND MOVE INSIDE IT. Some urban CONNECTIONS such as bridges are missing. Also, the carways are being prioritized over the bicycle lanes and pedestrian paths, which creates BARRIERS instead of fostering continuity and non motorized MOBILITY. Small scale commerce loses space to big brands stores. The urban proposal will seek economical sustainability of the Confluence, providing CHANCES FOR LOCAL SHOPS to develop and bring life to the area, distributed all around it and MIXED to other functions.

evaluation of the park as a public space inclusiveness ARCHITECTURAL BARRIERS
SAFETY The space is fluid. The DIFFERENCE OF LEVELS might be considered as a barrier for some, still, every area is REACHABLE, regardless of physical limitations.
1
FREQUENTED BY DIVERSE PEOPLE
The wide range of POSSIBILITIES, like concerts, sports, spaces for resting, makes the park likely to be visited by DIFFERENT SOCIAL ACTORS.
PSYCHOLOGICAL BARRIERS
Some psychological barriers such as SIGNS might be required to preserve the park clean.
LACK OF ENTRANCE CONTROL
The park is OPEN, but some of the adjacent public facilities, like the gym and art gallery, are PARTIALLY CLOSED.
2
STREET FURNITURE
Lots of SEATS, available to anyone, are spread along the site.
3
CLEAN AIR
Despite the nearby flow of cars, a good amount of TREES AND OPEN GREEN SPACES improve the air quality.
ARTIFICIAL LIGHTS
ARTIFICIAL LIGHTS provide enough illumination during the night.
CONTROL OF SPACE
The relatively BIG SIZE of the park and the DIFFERENCE OF LEVELS (which make some areas less visible) might be a drawback for the overall control. The BORDERS on the railway side might require some special attention at some moments.
NATURAL SURVEILLANCE
The nearby RESIDENTIAL BUILDING and the DIVERSITY of activities occurring at DIFFERENT TIMES of the day supply constant flow and therefore natural surveillance.
SAFETY FROM TRAFFIC
Designed for pedestrians, there is enough DISTANCE from the roads to avoid any possible accident.
COMFORT
CLIMATIC COMFORT
NOISE
There are SHADED spaces, SHELTERS, provided by the trees and the buildings, as well as open ones all around, so that the user can choose to remain where it suits best for him. The place might be affected at some points by the TRAFFIC sounds. Sporadic MUSIC events also interfere in the overall noise pollution.
4
PLEASURABILITY DESIGN ELEMENTS
A variety of shapes defines “IMAGEABLE” and REMARKABLE spaces.
VARIETY OF SENSORIAL STIMULATION
DYNAMIC PATHS surrounded by different activities and kinds of vegetation, along the sporadic presence of musicians and artists, provide a more complex sensorial experience.
SUBSPACES
A considerable amount of SUBSPACES, defined by level differences, architectural barriers and the paths, provide a sense of ORIENTATION and DEFINE the area as a whole.
ARCHITECTURAL SURROUNDINGS
Not all parts of the surroundings are directly defined by the architecture, but the nearby buildings, with UNCONVENTIONAL SHAPES, are memorable and serve as orientation points.
5
6
MEANINGFUL ACTIVITIES SPACE FLEXIBILITY
The DIMENSIONS and open spaces of the park allow the development of diverse activities and might be ADAPTED to fulfill possible needs.
RANGE OF ACTIVITIES AND BEHAVIORS
Provided with an amphiteater, gallery, sports facilities, commerce and open green spaces, the park allows a WIDE VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES.
PLACES TO GATHER COMMUNITIES
The AMPHITEATER, associated with the OPEN AREAS, allows the encounters of big groups.
SHOPS
Two COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS are at a walkable distance, by the entrance of the site. Also, there is enough space to allow the transit of STREET FOOD sellers, KIOSKS and so on.
PLACE ATTACHMENT
The presence of native vegetation and subjective features such as ART OBJECTS and architectural LANDMARKS, along with its likelability for DAILY USE and INTERACTIONS, might attach people to the place.

O NCE T D A R T UN EN RGRO E D N U OT ING L PARK
The accessbility is the most compromised of the analysed aspects, since handicap people might have trouble to get to some points. Still, reaching those is possible through the use of elevators and ramps, and the whole area is open for the public use, with some exceptions (during specific times, for matters of safety).
5
The other aspects were better evaluated. The park allows NUMEROUS ACTIVITIES, acting as a potential atractor to DIVERSE kinds of people. Also, non leisure activities (like in commerce, educational and residential areas) happening on the surroundings increase the flow of people during the day and make it more LIVELY. Overall, it is a DYNAMIC space, with non conventional shapes, characterizing its SINGULARITY and making it likely to be REMEMBERED and generate ATTACHMENT.
