AALU GRADUATE FIRST PRIZE: NET-WORKED TERRITORIES, JORGE AYALA
.jpg)
The project proposes a network of Landscapes, tropical trees and plantations preventing excessive erosion and polluted water infiltration. Diverse plants and species were assigned to respond to different watershed conditions, creating the infrastructure for agriculture, leisure and controlled tourism development.
The hexagonal prototypes seek to produce an assemblage between two elements of the project:
the water edges and the nature, as a speculation on how 2 natural processes may be able to generate new forms of mutual enhancement. Physical model helped control the territory and to measure the circulation between each of these prototypes.
Authors, Jorge Ayala, Minche Mena, Priscila Lozano Cusi

AALU STAFF FIRST PRIZE: CALES URBANES, ALFREDO RAMIREZ
Alfredo Ramirez (Groundlab), Clara Oloriz and Felipe Garcia have won an ideas competition for the regeneration of the Av. Barcelona in Miami Platja, Catalonia. The project encompasses an area of over 90,000 m2 of linear public network along the length of the avenue.
The proposal Cales Urbanes recovers the concept of ramble to reconnect the coastline with the city through a braided network of greenery, open space, pathways, cycle paths, transport system and public programme, integrating an infrastructural landscape that harvests and recycles water while working as a storm water drainage system, creating, maintaining and managing the project.
