Parque Hidalgo By 501 Durán Arquitectos ↑ Arch. Luis Miguel Durán LópezFriday, August 4th, 2023Category: Landscape architecture and public space The Miguel Hidalgo Park, in León, Guanajuato, Mexico, had been increasingly abandoned, given its unattractive structural characteristics, so our recovery work consisted of restoring its primary vocation at the service of the people.
The work included active and passive recreation areas, spaces where you can spend time, either sitting or walking, an intervention strategy in the landscaping area, and a space for outdoor performances. The objective is to convert it into a meeting point.
The rescue project clearly solved the main and secondary circulations with the creation of small squares in strategic places, which generate meeting points, the concentration of youth and children’s recreation areas, the integration of an activity track for urban sports and the redesign of the service modules, as well as the recovery of the open-air entertainment forum.
In the landscaping project, the rescue of endemic species, the sanitation and reforestation of the existing areas was proposed, in addition to the proposal of free transit through the green areas, which are now provided with urban furniture to promote the meeting, the opportunity to sit down to talk and share everyday life. The project takes advantage of the benefits of having a wastewater treatment plant located in the western part of the park, which will guarantee its constant irrigation.
The street furniture meets the needs of the public space through three simple designs, defined by simple geometric lines, while providing a utilitarian solution to the passerby, whether it is to park the bicycle or carry out different urban activities.
The rehabilitation actions were carried out knowing and understanding the user, who in this way becomes the central figure, as an inherent element of the space, since it serves for the construction and consolidation of citizenship. Parque Hidalgo now has the capacity to host the urban acts that our society demands, in addition to having become an important social and economic detonator for the Barrio Arriba area.
Caixaforum Cultural Center in Seville, Spain by Guillermo Vázquez ConsuegraFriday, April 7th, 2023Article source: Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra The Cultural Centre CaixaForum represents the potential of fighting against difficulty, against (pre-existing) constraints. It is built mainly inside a prevailing concrete skeleton that was meant to be an underground parking area. The project coherently resolves two crucial issues when dealing with existing buildings: accommodating the new uses and making them visible (even being underground).

Cultural centre in Garges-lès-Gonesse, France by archi5Thursday, March 9th, 2023Article source: archi5 The city of Garges-lès-Gonesse had the ambition to enrich its public facilities with a new cultural centre that would reflect the image of a young and artistically creative city. The work brings together the various disciplines that make up the city’s cultural landscape. The aim was to stimulate cross-cutting activities between the arts and to encourage the opening up of culture from this new cultural centre. The project unfolds around the existing Lino Ventura space with a 250-seat auditorium, a 200-seat cinema, a conservatory and a media library, organised around a generous, bright and crossing reception area. The Lino Ventura space benefits from a central urban location, at the heart of the town’s road network and public transport system. The project is located at the crossroads of the two main roads running through the town, Avenue du Général Leclerc and Avenue du Général de Gaulle.  Image Courtesy © Sergio Grazia
Grosuplje Cultural Center in Slovenia by Dans arhitektiSaturday, January 28th, 2023Article source: Dans arhitekti The Grosuplje Cultural Centre is an iconic building that elegantly complements the town’s architectural image. Its design is clear and attractive, in order to be the cultural home for everyone, locals and guests. The form and the materialization of the building give it a strong visual character, establishing the new architectural identity of Grosuplje, which is recognizable on the local and on the international scale. We analysed the history of the town and thus developed our architectural strategy: what the new cultural center means for the town, what potentials it opens up, and what will be happening in and around it. The festive brick façade creates a specific contemporary architecture with regional expression: it reflects the particular character typical of the town’s existing public buildings, such as the library and the health center. The square and the lobby of the Cultural Centre form the living room of the town. The direct visual connection to the open and illuminated space of the foyer makes the interior of the Cultural Centre a part of the city ground floor. The large and the small halls are arranged in the ground floor around the foyer. The tower that rises above the square houses the music school.  Image Courtesy © Dans arhitekti

Deloitte Summit in Vancouver, Canada by OSOSaturday, August 13th, 2022Article source: OSO The office tower is located on one of the main avenues through downtown Vancouver and straddles two distinct neighbourhoods: the business centre dominated by glass high-rises and the cultural and the entertainment district scattered with low-slung buildings like museums, theatres, and sports complexes. The Vancouver Public Library in front and the Centre for Performing Arts next door, both by architect Moshe Safdie, have similar materials and motifs that consolidate their civic character at the boundary with the office district. Their low and horizontal profiles, together with the library’s generous plaza facing the site, offers a relatively spacious urban setting on the cusp of two zones.  Image Courtesy © OSO
