Green Density Sagrado Corazón Station Group Project Prof. Victor Paunetto y Prof. Raphael Ozuna 2019 (group project members: Nildalice Berrios, Allen Marrero, Erick Pacheco y Sophia Rivera)
My contribution was the graphics and concept of unifying the lots in the center to create a massive ecological park with spaces for a variety of activities as well as the flora and it’s densest moments. My colleague Sophia developed the skate park near the train station along with bycicle routes, Nildalice worked on the newly added body of water for kayaking, and Allen along with Erick created a space on the bottom left for food trucks and the existing bus system.

The project unifies existing lots to add social and ecological value to the homes and nearby university. The park showcases the dense and lush tropical flora as it connects with the urban topography. It includes a skate park, open fields for festivities, celebrations or gatherings, food truck ammenities, and train station. It allows for nature, el Caño Martín Peña, exist more in harmony with the community of Santurce.
