Ica is located on an agricultural valley parallel to the ocean. To the south of the city are the Ica dunes, which flank predominantly wine crops. In this area, right where the two main structural roads of the region meet, the land for the project is laid out.
“El Haras” urbanisation
The urban approach of this project has a longitudinal internal axis and two transversal connections that articulate the road flow with the regional streets and divide the land into four quadrants. Each of these quadrants is resolved by means of residential roads that allow the creation of small communities, fostering the relationship between neighbours. These roads with less traffic are interrupted when they reach the park, generating greater continuity of the green spaces and integrating their design into the geometry of the space in order to improve their connection.
This network of parks creates an organic system that connects the entire urbanization through a pedestrian circuit. Through it, spaces that contain different activities appear. As for the design of the park, some paths that generate fluidity are created. They are based on the marks left by the horses when trotting through the field.
The geometry of the paths is supported by the arrangement of vegetation, public furniture and small hills that contribute to direct the circulation through the park. The trees are arranged in groups, creating small groves that structure the space, giving a reading with sequences of full and empty during the walk to instill a more rural character.
As a result, thanks to the prioritization of the roads and the continuity of the green spaces, the urbanization integrates into the environment and allows the generation of a functional and sustainable space that improves its quality.
