urban trees by fernando sánchez from mexico

The uncontrollable growth of the cites has absorbed the high voltage towers and trapped them inside of the city.

These structures have become part of the city's landscape.

The phyisical restrictions of these towers, have created many empty urban zones around them, and some of these unused spaces have been able to be turned into lineal parks.

Even though we have this spatial advantage generated by the towers, they are still missing a visual harmony with the city.

The question is: How can we integrate the image of the towers with the park and the city?

Proposal:Dress the towers with a green skin made of vines and add facilities in the lower part of the structure for the park users: such as bathrooms,lockers and bicycle parkig lot.

The concept is to take advantage of the structure of the towers in two ways:

1. The new aesthetic image generated by the green skin creates a new identity between the towers and the park, improving the urban image.

2. The instalations of the facilities create a link between the towers and the park users.

The towers will work in a sustaintable way by taking advantage of natural resources.
