由CIDS和INFONAVIT–重塑墨西哥抵押贷款市场和促进可持续住房发展的主要墨西哥住房机构–委托进行的Los Héroes公园,是重新思考公共空间的更广泛计划的一部分,以恢复过去30年社会住房的恶劣条件,并治愈影响该国城市郊区的废弃财产和社会隔离的伤痕。

Commissioned by CIDS and INFONAVIT — the main Mexican Housing Institutions reshaping Mexico’s mortgage market and promoting sustainable housing development —Los Héroes Park, is part of a wider programme rethinking public space to revert the poor conditions of social housing over the last 30 years and heal the scars of abandoned properties and social segregation that affect the urban outskirts of the country.

位于Toluca de Lerdo市Unidad Habitacional de Los Héroes Sección III的Parque Los Héroes的改造,包括使用单一模数翻新现有的路面,以衔接不同的空间和定义新的活动。该单元是一个六边形的鹅卵石,像一个像素,改变了地形,有利于灵活的空间布局。为了补充这个提议,已经安装了一个由100个新作品组成的树网–每个作品都位于三米的距离。包括儿童游乐场,一个足球场和一个篮球场,以及一个滑冰场,该公园具有包容性,并被设计为改善邻近住房单元和小学的生活质量。

The makeover of Parque Los Héroes, located in the Unidad Habitacional de Los Héroes Sección III in the city of Toluca de Lerdo, consisted of renovating the existing pavement using a single modulus, in order to articulate different spaces and define new activities. The unit is an hexagonal cobblestone which, like a pixel, modifies the topography and favours a flexible space layout. To complement the proposal, a tree grid of 100 new pieces — each located at a three-metre distance, has been installed. Including children’s playgrounds, a football and a basketball court, and a skating ring, the park is inclusive and has been designed to improve the life quality of the adjacent housing units and primary school.

虽然它们是根据特定的自然和社会条件设计的,但这两个项目都有共同的元素,从而确保了建筑环境和自然环境之间的和谐,这些元素可以重复或整合成一个系统,有可能适用于任何其他环境。

Although they have been designed according to specific natural and social conditions, both projects feature common elements, thus ensuring harmony among the built and natural environments that can be repeated or integrated into a system that is potentially applicable to any other context.

一个是地板水泥块,它可以很容易地适应任何布局,无论是自然的还是人工的。水泥块和现浇混凝土填充物的创造性组合,产生了像城市挂毯一样的新模式。其次是操场系统:各种混凝土墙和金属条可以排列成多种配置,从而构成不同的空间,适合各种用途和使用者。

One is the floor cement block, which can be easily adapted to any layout, be it natural or artificial. The creative combination of the blocks and in-situ poured concrete filling, generate new patterns like an urban tapestry. The second is the playground system: the various concrete walls and metal bars can be arranged in multiple configurations, thereby constituting different spaces that are suitable for all uses and users.

这些公园不仅仅是帮助市民与自然重新联系的绿洲,也是参与和环保的工具。通过将郊区转变为嵌入城市结构的绿色休闲空间,Parque Héroes正迅速成为居民喜爱的城市景点。

More than just oases to help citizens reconnect with nature, the parks are tools for engagement and environmentalism. Through the transformation of suburban areas into green recreational spaces embedded in the city fabric, Parque Héroes are fast becoming a beloved urban spot for residents.
