The project represents an opportunity to revitalise Azca
Transforming Azca into a space that is connected, unified, committed, alive, active, accessible and sustainable. The goal is:
Create a dynamic and attractive destination for all, a pleasant and vibrant space for social, economic and cultural meetings.
Increase the sense of safety in the area, both day and night.
Transform the area into a park with green spaces, something that is particularly necessary for residents of the Tetuán district.
Remove architectural barriers and improve pedestrian walkways, providing natural light to lower levels.
Increase the flow towards the inner public space, strengthening ties with the urban fabric.
Transform underused covered spaces into spaces that are productive for the community and for culture, giving the complex a new lease of life.
Include accessibility to new technologies throughout.
Develop an innovative project and set an example of best practices in sustainability, making a commitment to the city and its inhabitants.
A large central green area that mitigates the current topographical barriers, and around that area different urban rooms, each offering a unique atmosphere and programme.
