Description:
Concéntrico, in its aim to initiate new formats that respond to urban transformations, presents a call for proposals with Logroño City Council and LIF 2002, Logroño Integración del Ferrocarril, within the framework of the strategic plan to face heat waves in the city of Logroño. The aim of this call is to create a permanent urban climate island, which will be located around the lake in the Felipe VI Park on the terracing that forms a hexagonal square.
The project seeks to generate a space of thermal comfort that proposes a design that can have structures or shaded areas, tree planting, with spaces of soft natural soil, permeable to water, equipped with benches, in order to reduce the temperature at specific points. The two-phase competition includes the design and implementation of the climatic island. The competition organisers will be responsible for the production and construction of the winning proposal in coordination with the selected team.
