在清晨时分，运动开始了。穿着健身服的常客们选择通过练习某种体育活动来开始新的一天。步行、跑步、户外健身、骑自行车、足球和排球只是其中的一些选择。所有这些都是在九个相互连接的泻湖–湿地的岸边进行的。这只是对雷切尔-德-奎罗斯公园项目第一阶段内容的一个简单总结。
In the early hours of the morning, the movement begins. Regulars in gym clothes choose to start the day by practicing some kind of physical activity. Walking, running, outdoor gym, biking, soccer, and volleyball are just some of the options available. All this takes place on the shores of nine interconnected lagoons, the wetlands. This is just a brief summary of what can be found in the first stage of the Parque Rachel de Queiroz project.
该公园全长10公里，面积约203公顷，建成后将成为福塔莱萨/CE的第二大公园。它的巨大延伸是将该地区划分为19个部分的主要原因，其中6个部分已经执行。该项目采用了线性公园的设计理念，利用现有的道路系统作为绿色区域之间的连接，直接穿过城市西部地区的八个社区。
With 10 km in length and about 203 hectares, when completed the park will be the second largest in Fortaleza/CE. Its great extension is the main reason for the division of the area into 19 sections, six of which have already been executed. The project adopted the design concept of a linear park, using the existing road system as a connection between the green areas that cut directly through eight neighborhoods in the west area of the city.
最近开放的第六段公园的设计是为了恢复一个退化的区域，该区域多年来一直是当地居民关注的焦点。该地区是可用于干预的最大项目区，以前是一块空地，被不规则的垃圾堆和秘密的污水所占据。这种情况加剧了Riacho Cachoeirinha河的污染，该河是贯穿该地的水资源，也是公园的最大区域。此外，由于雨水排放系统的超负荷，造成了频繁的洪水，这是该地区密集化进程和其周围可渗透区域减少的直接结果。
Recently opened, the sixth section of the park was designed to recover a degraded area that for many years was a cause of concern for the local population. The site, the largest project area available for intervention, was previously a vacant lot taken over by irregular garbage dumps and clandestine sewage. This situation contributed to aggravating the pollution of the Riacho Cachoeirinha, a water resource that cuts through the lot and structures the largest area of the park. In addition, it caused frequent flooding due to the overload in the rainwater drainage system, a direct result of the region’s intense densification process and the consequent reduction of permeable areas in its surroundings.
雷切尔-德-奎罗斯公园（Parque Rachel de Queiroz）项目占据了该市的一个受淹保护区域，采用了排水系统作为结构元素。湿地技术被用来改善Riacho Cachoeirinha的水质，以及创建一个洪水减弱系统。在密集的水文研究之后，提出了九个相互连接的池塘，通过倾倒和植物修复来进行自然水过滤过程。这个过程是由固定在土壤表面和池塘中水生植物根部的微生物进行的。
Occupying one of the city’s flooded preservation areas, the Parque Rachel de Queiroz project adopted the drainage system as a structural element. The wetland technique was used to improve the water quality of the Riacho Cachoeirinha, as well as to create a flood dampening system. After intensive hydrological studies, nine interconnected ponds were proposed to perform a natural water filtering process through decanting and phytoremediation. This process is conducted by microorganisms fixed both on the surface of the soil and on the roots of aquatic plants in the ponds.
换句话说，除了景观潜力外，湿地是该地区环境恢复的基本战略，同时不排除当地社区所需的用途。此外，绿地的实施，包括土方工程和种植近600棵树，对于促进当地动植物的发展至关重要。公园的这一部分开放后，游客已经习惯于在城市景观中看到本地生态系统的不同物种。
In other words, in addition to their landscape potential, wetlands are a fundamental strategy for the environmental recovery of the area, without excluding the uses required by the local community. Furthermore, the implementation of green areas, which involved earthworks and the planting of nearly 600 trees, was crucial for promoting the development of the local fauna and flora. After the opening of this section of the park, visitors have become used to seeing different species of the native ecosystem in the midst of the urban landscape.
池塘之间的小路将游客引向围绕各种文化、体育和休闲设施结构的永久性区域。一个露天剧场、一个狗公园、多个运动场、操场、一个阅读空间和一个户外健身房只是其中的一部分。围绕公园整个周边的双向轨道，保证了一个安全和适合步行、跑步和骑自行车的空间。从项目开始，就提出了多样化的用途，以包括和鼓励当地居民的空间占有，通过理解充分利用该地区是环境可持续性的基本组成部分，防止它重新变成一个用于秘密存放垃圾、废物或污水的地方。
The paths between ponds lead visitors to areas of permanence structured around various cultural, sports and leisure facilities. An amphitheater, a dog park, multi-sport courts, playgrounds, a reading space, and an outdoor gym are just some of the spaces available. A bidirectional track that surrounds the entire perimeter of the park guarantees a safe and suitable space for walking, running, and cycling. Since the beginning of the project, a diversity of uses was proposed to include and encourage spatial appropriation by the local population, through an understanding that the full use of the area is a fundamental component for environmental sustainability, preventing it from turning back into a place used for the clandestine deposit of garbage, rubbish or sewage.
由于公园占地广阔，空间之间的连接是其充分利用的一个重要方面。考虑到这一点，我们提出了两条横跨Riacho Cachoeirinha的金属走道，这样小河就不会成为物理障碍。这些人行道由钢结构和混凝土地板组成，保证了进出的方便性，特别是对于通过Licurgo Montenegro路到达的游客。
Since the park occupies an extensive area, the connection between spaces was an essential aspect of its full use. With that in mind, two metallic walkways crossing the Riacho Cachoeirinha were proposed, so the creek would not become a physical barrier. Made of steel structure and concrete flooring, the walkways guarantee easy access, especially for visitors arriving via Rua Licurgo Montenegro.
城市家具项目是基于两个原则：可持续性和耐久性。操场上的玩具、PET空间和假山是由经过处理的桉树木材制成。长椅在混凝土结构上有生物合成的木质座椅。
The urban furniture project was based on two principles: sustainability and durability. The playground toys, PET space, and arbors were made of treated eucalyptus wood. The benches have biosynthetic wood seats on a concrete structure.
公园的视觉识别也是Architectus S/S开发的项目的一部分，在不同层次上重新定义公共空间。公园的标志突出了湿地作为主要的设计元素，而标志和图腾的目的不仅是为了引导，也是为了教育和告知公园的使用者。
The visual identity of the park was also part of the project developed by Architectus S/S, requalifying the public space on different levels. The park logo highlights the wetlands as the main design element, while the signs and totems aim not only to guide but also to educate and inform the park users.
了解项目实施的空间背景也很重要：福塔莱萨西部地区被近年来人口增长较快的社区所占据。尽管有大面积的开放区域，但在Rachel de Queiroz公园开放之前，这个地区缺乏高质量的公共空间。所有这些因素促成了公园被周围社区迅速占用，并促进了该地区的正式和非正式贸易。
It is also important to understand the spatial context in which the project was implemented: the west area of Fortaleza is occupied by neighborhoods with high population growth in recent years. Despite presenting large open areas, this region lacked quality public spaces until the opening of the Parque Rachel de Queiroz. All these factors contributed to the rapid appropriation of the park by the surrounding community, with a boost in both formal and informal trade in the region.
在公园开放的几个月后，人们已经很难记住该地区以前的配置，以及它的许多城市和环境问题。这是一个相当迅速的转变，变成了一个熙熙攘攘、生机勃勃、脉动的公共空间。城市化在这个词的最佳意义上得到了应用。
A few months after the park’s opening, it is already difficult to remember the previous configuration of the area, with its many urban and environmental problems. It was a fairly quick transformation into a bustling, lively, pulsating public space. Urbanity is applied in the best sense of the word.
