Garden and Carballeira

卡巴莱拉和公园花园是文化利益资产（BIC）。
Martín Cerreda and Natalia Lorenzo: The area of intervention of the proposal is very vast, 10,200 m2 approximately, including the Park-Garden and the oak forest (Carballeira) of Caldas de Reis. The Park-Garden was created in the 19th Century as a private sector development. In 1883, the council bought the property and transformed it into a place of recreation open to the public. In 1962, it was declared National Scenic Site and it became the starting point of the Water Trail, which follows upstream to the Segade waterfall. There are around 150 botanical species from several continents. In this sense, the park has a great didactic value, following the tradition of the great botanic gardens. Next to the Park-Garden there is a large Carballeira, which beyond its natural content, has the value of serving as a gathering place, where several events take place during the year, such as the Cultura Quente music festival and Kaldarte, a project of artistic experimentation on Caldas de Reis public space.
The Carballeira and the Park-Garden are Assets of Cultural Interest (BIC).

Garden and Carballeira

OBJECTIVE OF THE INTERVENTION

该项目涉及改善干预区域与相邻城市结构之间的关系，促进它们之间的更好互动，并促进提高活动水平，以最佳利用该区域的潜力。由于其起源于一个古典园林，公园结构非常明确，与公园的第二部分卡巴莱拉形成鲜明对比。为两个部分之间的过渡找到解决方案，建立联系，使我们能够理解公园作为一个实体，同时尊重每个部分的结构。执行该项目时确定的主要挑战与通往卡巴莱拉河上部、车辆通道和停车场的通道有关。向学校提供服务的需要限制了私人和学校交通的使用。为了避免公园形象的恶化，重新组织交通和停车场至关重要。
The Project has involved the improvement of the relationship between the area of intervention and the adjacent urban fabric, facilitating a better interaction between them and contributing to an increasing level of activity towards the optimum use of the potential this area has to offer. Due to its origin as a classical garden, the park structure is very well defined and contrasts sharply with the second part of the park, the Carballeira. Care was taken to find a solution for the transition between the two parts, creating links that allow us to understand the park as an entity, respecting each part’s structure at the same time. The main challenges identified when carrying out the project were related to the access to the upper part of the Carballeira, to the vehicular access and to parking areas. The need to provide service to the school was a constraint for the access of both private and school transport. It has been crucial to reorganize circulations and parking areas to avoid deterioration of the park image.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INTERVENTION

根据其不同的结构和问题，干预分为两部分。一方面，公园花园。这些行动的目的是重新组织一些现有的要素，并替换由于其保护或整合状态而不足以保护环境的其他要素，尊重干预领域，并重新利用具有历史重要性的每一要素。该项目的第二部分包括对卡巴莱拉的干预。主要目标是在橡树形成的网格内创建一个新的路线，促进行人和车辆的流通需求，并将其融入到绝佳的自然景观中。为了实现这一点，在橡树之间引入了几种不同宽度的路径，并沿着等高线。由于公园上部和卡巴莱拉滨海广场之间的水平差异，以及需要在所有区域通行，因此决定按照等高线创建一系列露台，作为表演的座位，或只是作为休息的地方。选择带有开放式可种植接缝的预制混凝土圆形块来改善道路网络。床上用品的增长最终将覆盖它们，并提供视觉连续性。选择Corten steel作为挡土墙阶地的饰面，压实土用于道路。楼梯和长凳由预制混凝土制成。
In accordance to their different structures and issues, intervention has been divided into two parts. On one hand, the Park-Garden. Actions were aimed at reorganizing some existing elements and replacing others which due to its conservation or integration state were not adequate for the environment, respecting the area of intervention and reusing every element with historic importance. The second part of the project consisted on the intervention in the Carballeira. The main objective was to create, within the grid formed by oaks, a new itinerary facilitating circulation requirements, both pedestrian and for vehicles, integrated in the superb natural landscape. In order to achieve this, several paths of various widths were introduced between the oaks and following the contour lines. Due to the difference in levels between the upper part of the park and the esplanade of the Carballeira and also to the need for it to be passable in all areas, it was decided to create a series of terraces following the contour lines, which act as seating stands for performances, or simply as a place to rest. Circular blocks of prefabricated concrete with open plantable joint were chosen to improve the road network. Bedding growth will eventually cover them and offer visual continuity. Corten steel was selected as the finish for walls retaining terraces, compacted earth was used for paths. Stairs and benches are made of prefabricated concrete.

EVALUATION

卡巴莱拉已经从一个退化的自然空间转变为一个城市公园，为每个人，无论年龄，汇集了大量的体育、休闲和文化活动。该项目以牺牲车辆为代价扩大了行人的开放空间，优先考虑休闲和步行。鼓励市民步行穿过公共空间的无障碍线性路线得到推广，恢复了市中心与周围自然空间之间失去的连续性。公园的重新开发允许体育和休闲与户外音乐会或剧院等特殊活动共存的区域。最后，教育和文化工作，开展活动，提高对自然环境的认识，为公众提供培训和信息，使公园成为教学和学习的工具。
The Carballeira has moved from being a degraded natural space to being an urban park which brings together a large number of sport, leisure and cultural activities for everyone, regardless of age. This project extends the open space for pedestrians at the expense of vehicles, prioritizing leisure and walking. Linear routes without obstacles, encouraging citizens to walk across the public space, are promoted, recovering the continuity lost between the inner city and the surrounding natural spaces. The redevelopment of the Park has allowed for areas where sports and leisure coexist with special events such as outdoor concerts or theatre. Finally, the education and cultural work, carrying out activities to promote the awareness of the natural environment, providing the public with training and information, make the Park an instrument for teaching and learning.
