PROPOSAL
The project is composed of three complementary elements that play different roles in this urban intersection. These components generate a dynamic space thanks to vertical vegetable separators and also a vegetable cutting in the pavement.
In this way, routes are created, which give the design flexibility, allowing it to be modified according to the need at each intersection.
The objective of the project is self-sufficiency at the neighborhood level, that is, that the neighbors are in charge of self-managing these meeting spaces so that they can carry out and propose new activities.

Therefore, the maintenance in this design is minimal, the design grows naturally, adapting and giving rise to the accommodation of its users, both daily and nightly.
1. modular system as colonizer of urban space through corrugated iron rods.
2. Vegetable filter as a reference to nature within the urban context through the climbing plant.
3. vegetable matrix as a geometric part where the asphalt and the earth coexist adding character to the project set.
