Paralelo Mar Park has facilities for physical activities such as multi-sport courts, tennis and soccer. There are a place for walking and spaces for contemplation and rest, and a great area for skaters. These attractions promise to keep the park moving, even it is located in an isolated area.
The Paralelo Park contains the area for food truck, positioned in the corner of the park, in order to facilitate the access of the public. The playground and fountain are side by side, ready to welcome the children. The civic square is located in an area of high visibility, with the Burle Marx’ palm trees in the background.

Mixed structure of steel and concrete construtction Ecological wood covering
The path will be covered with ecological wood, aesthetically referring to the old pier, but using sustainable material.
Vegetation Russélia - Russelia equisetiformis
The plants will play an important role in the external look of the footbridge since it is located in large vases adjacent to the parapet of the footbridge, tending to fall out.
Illumination Illumination happens through LED bulbs coupled in an area at the bottom of the parapet.

Map analysis Inserted in the East Portland, the Gateway district already shows a potential to be the second city’s center, although its late annexation to the Portland territory. Comparing to the Central city,
Gateway General Zoning

Creation Process
Materiality + Color + Texture
The material proposed for the pavilion was the wood. Wood is a material that provides lightness to the pavilion, complementing its delicate shape. The real color of the wood does not distune to the trees and decks found in the possible insertion location.
Digital and Physical Model
Possible Insertion Place Sishane Park - Istanbul The location was chosen with the idea to interact a lot of people inside and around the pavilion. Its shadow makes a diversified pavilion in diferent hours of the day.
