Xicoténcatl公园建在位于蒂华纳郊区的一个曾经充满碎石的峡谷上。这个非正式的城市化地区的特点是纸板和煤渣建筑,通常用波纹金属板或非常简单的混凝土板作为屋顶,站在陡峭的斜坡上。

Parque Xicoténcatl was built over a former debris-filled ravine, located on the outskirts of Tijuana. This informally urbanized area is characterized by cardboard and cinder block constructions, usually roofed with a corrugated metal sheets or very simple concrete slabs, standing over steep slopes.

这个项目最初是为了解决人行道的建设和清理沟壑以引导水流的问题。在参观和了解了社区对公共和娱乐空间的迫切需求后,范围发生了变化。

This project was originally meant to address the construction of sidewalks and the cleaning of the ravine to guide a water runoff. After visiting and understanding the community’s pressing need for public and recreational spaces, the scope changed.

通过使用一种流行的乡土建筑系统来建造称为llantimuro或轮胎墙的争夺墙,这个项目利用现有的现场碎片和每年从美国进口到墨西哥的数以百万计的废旧轮胎,这些轮胎无用地堆积在边境城市,如蒂华纳,来建造一系列的土和混凝土平台,由轮胎墙争夺墙支撑。

Through the use of a popular and vernacular construction system to build contention walls called llantimuro or tire-wall, this project takes advantage of the existing on-site debris and the millions of used tires that are yearly imported from the USA to Mexico, uselessly piled in border cities such as Tijuana, to build a series of earth and concrete platforms, held by tire-wall contention walls.

这些平台现在作为公共和娱乐空间,也连接着生活在峡谷两边的人们。

These now serve as public and recreational spaces that also connect people living on both sides of the ravine.

干预措施还考虑了减少气候风险的策略,包括建造水渠,引导雨水径流离开居住区,流向景观尚未受到影响的低地,然后流入大海。

The intervention also considers a climate risk reduction strategy that consists of the construction of canals to guide rainwater runoff away from the inhabited areas, towards lower lands, where the landscape has not yet been impacted, and then into the sea.
