Info

All paving in the park is carried out with crescent shaped paving stones that create the foundation for the entire design. The shape of the stone makes it adaptable to various lines and geometries. The paving pattern follows the slope upwards, becoming a seating area, and continues further in order to form a tilted wall surface. The surface is hard and can accommodate heavier traffic in connection with concerts and big events, but it can be used for many types of movement including biking and skating. The hilly landscape shelters visitors, and storage facilities have been established in various places in the hills. All the activities are joined together in a complex network of paths for walking, biking and skating. Recommendations - Wide connections through the park, capable of accommodating many different types of movement, can be established by developing the entire park as a continuous gentle landscape. - Play areas for small children should have a visible location that provides an overview. Adjoining seating areas can be placed in small niches. - Large, wide connections through the park can create a number of plateaus and niches with spatialites that can encompass various activities. - By drawing the paving pattern up onto vertical surfaces, exciting zones are created for mountain bikers, skaters and children at play. - The gentle shapes are flexible in use and allow many different forms of expression. - By analysing the basic conditions of an activity, i.e. location, orientation, paving and other factors, optimal conditions can be established. In several places the pavement folds upwards, creating a soft surface for skaters, cyclists and children, all the while providing shelter. South-East Coastal Park, 2003, Barcelona, Spain.

62 The University Park The university park is the unifying structure in the university area. The park is a concentrate of area vibrancy and must serve as a recreational and rest area, an activity zone and a connective network between the various local facilities and the rest of the town. Many different types of life unfold in the university park setting. The park offers students the possibility to study, relax or be active outdoors between classes and throughout the day. In addition, the often central location of the park renders it attractive for other area residents who also use it for recreational purposes and pass through it on their way to other destinations. The many different types of activity and uses must be considered in the development of the park. Campus Walk, Puerto Rico smaller nichesre varied surface scenarios Campus Walk, by Field Operations, links the outdoor areas of Rio Piedra that are part of the University of Puerto Rico. The area comprises university departments, libraries, student housing, sports facilities and a museum, all of which are linked together by a highly characteristic paving pattern. At the same time, three new public squares are established in the area, each with its own specific identity. With a defining move, a former road is transformed into a pedestrian zone that connects the entire area and is wide enough to encompass pedestrians, cyclists and seating areas. The paving has a smooth character and a pattern that intensifies every time it approaches a building. Seating areas have been placed along the entire walk in coordination with planting and lighting. The outdoor zones adjoining the respective buildings have been adapted by employing different planting strategies that lend individual character to each of the areas. The university park serves as a long trail for movement to which a variety of functions and activities have been assigned. Campus Walk, 2006 (ongoing development), San Juan, Puerto Rico.
