<\/u>Main Objective:
\n– Build an urban park\u00a0with\u00a0sustainability and\u00a0environment protection as guide lines.<\/p>\n

Specific Objectives:
\n– Establish an urban space with a balanced\u00a0 Environment-Human-Society relationship
\n– Use of\u00a0 the concepts of Conservation, Natural Resources, Recycling and Alternative Energies in its design.
\n– Take advantage of creativity\u00a0in order to generate original objects (park furnishings, swings, slides, sculptures) so as to renovate the conventional language of Parks and squares.
\n– Let the Park function as a space for children games, grown ups\u2019 leisure, school education, conservation of the native flora and fauna.
\n– Incorporate native species in the landscape so as to encourage\u00a0their use, appreciation and care.<\/p>\n

\"en-honor-al-quebracho\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The municipality offered a three-hectare lot for the park.\u00a0Our guiding idea was the historical relationship of the town with the railway.\u00a0 The history of the train is also intimately related to a natural resource: the Quebracho Colorado, a tree whose wood was used to make millions of sleepers for supporting the railway tracks.\u00a0 The use of the\u00a0 \u2018Quebracho\u2019 is another paradoxical example of our past.\u00a0 On the one hand,\u00a0 it supported the country\u2019s economical development but it also represented the over-exploitation and environmental destruction of resources, the near slavery of workers and the assertion of a massive model of exportation of our natural resources.<\/p>\n

Therefore we proposed to plant a small Quebracho tree\u00a0in the center of the park.\u00a0 It would be the representation of our \u2018hero\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"troncos\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We searched for a variety of recycable materials like unused sleepers and tracks.\u00a0 We also took advantage of resources that could be provided by the municipality and the local workshops in order to generate employment in the town.\u00a0Finally, the project included the participation of residents and different institutions like schools, etc.
\nIn financial terms, the project would have cost a third of what a square meter of any park costs in terms of landscaping in the city of Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n
