The project is located in Valparaiso, Chile, at the gates of the city, at the end of Argentina Avenue, continuing on the high-speed road Santos Ossa, also known as Route 68 that connects the city to Santiago. Although the park is one of the few green areas in Valparaiso, the unfavorable historical facts and its morphology have lost over time the public component and its role as a social attractor. From a morphological point of view, the park, born at the bottom of a ravine, is not easily accessible. I became aware of the park during my first semester in Chile, through the course of Habitar la luz, and its potential as a green area led me to choose it as the theme of my thesis. During the first phase, I gathered all the possible information, in particular on the historical-administrative events, consulting libraries and municipal offices, interacting with the associations that currently work in the park, to have a complete overview and understand what led to his death, also considering that it is one of only five parks of which Valparaiso counts, with El Litre, Parque Italia, Parque Cultural and Alejo Barrio. Quintil Park, a green lung of the city of Valparaíso, has been closed for over 20 years, until the end of 2016, when the community, formed by organizations and universities, begins with the work of opening the park, with the redevelopment of its green areas, the development of educational programs and citizen participation. The reformulation of the space will be brought to an urban scale, as a preliminary moment, to study how the park fits into the dialectic of the neighborhood, designing a new urban plan to reconnect it to the network of the city. Consequently, the new configuration will solve the current problems, from the accesses, defining the parking spaces, allowing the park to create a thematic route, generating throughout its path points of interest that mark the rhythm of the route. The future project provides for the reactivation of the park at a social level, encouraging the transmission of practical knowledge and trying to bring people closer to naturalness and urban respect. At this point, the fusion of all these new morphological connotations will pass to the architectural scale. The idea is to create an open infrastructure with classrooms, laboratories and an amphitheatre, which houses a large multifunctional space that adapts to the different needs of the park. This structure would support the Quintil house and the laboratory already rehabilitated in 2016, where, currently, the organizations and professionals who open the Park, maintain participatory programs and projects that contribute to the social and environmental development of Valparaiso. The master plan aims to transform the park into a new social attraction to reintegrate it into the urban network, working with respect and in close contact with the nature that surrounds it. After an in-depth study of the park and its social, political and morphological problems, a solution was formulated to concretely restore the park. In assessing all the elements, the conclusion is that the main problem describing the isolation of the park is accessibility. The park, being located on the side of Ruta 68, a high speed and high traffic road, does not have a road system that allows it to be accessible to the public. The architectural project consists in the formulation of a centre of diffusion of the park, which is in itself entrance and at the same time attraction and social activator. The park was created at the bottom of a ravine, creating a state of isolation that leads to the creation of natural landfills due to the lack of spatial flexibility. The idea is that the entrance to the park, the diffusion center, is a walkway that connects the neighborhood with the park and, consequently, the highest moment of the hill with the lowest of the quebrada and that the natural form of the latter is the cradle that will house the new structure.
Il progetto è ubicato a Valparaiso, Cile, alle porte della città, al finale di viale Argentina, proseguendo per la strada ad alta velocità Santos Ossa, conosciuta anche come Ruta 68 che connetta la città a Santiago. Sebbene il parco sia una delle poche aree verdi di Valparaiso, i fatti storici sfavorevoli e la sua morfologia hanno perso nel tempo la componente pubblica e il suo ruolo di attrattore sociale. Dal punto di vista morfologico, il parco, nato sul fondo di un burrone, non è facilmente accessibile. Sono venuta a conoscenza del parco durante il mio primo semestre in Cile, tramite il corso di Habitar la luz, e il suo potenziale come area verde mi ha portata a sceglierlo come tema della mia tesi. Durante la prima fase, ho raccolto tutte le informazioni possibili, in particolare sulle vicende storico-amministrative, consultando biblioteche e uffici municipali, interagendo con le associazioni che attualmente lavorano nel parco, per avere una visione completa e intendere cosa portò alla sua scomparsa, oltretutto considerando che è uno degli unici cinque parchi di cui conta Valparaiso, con El Litre, Parque Italia, Parque Cultural e Alejo Barrio. Parco Quintil, un polmone verde della città di Valparaíso, per oltre 20 anni è rimasto chiuso, fino alla fine del 2016, quando la comunità, formata da organizzazioni e università, inizia con i lavori di apertura del parco, con la riqualificazione delle sue aree verdi, lo sviluppo di programmi educativi e la partecipazione dei cittadini. La riformulazione dello spazio sarà portata a scala urbana, come momento preliminare, per studiare come il parco si inserisce nella dialettica del quartiere, progettando un nuovo piano urbanistico per ricollegarlo alla rete della città. Di conseguenza, la nuova configurazione risolverà i problemi attuali, dagli accessi, definendo gli spazi destinati a parcheggio, consentendo al parco di realizzare una ruta tematica, generando lungo tutto il suo percorso dei punti di interesse che segnano il ritmo del percorso. Il progetto futuro prevede la riattivazione del parco a livello sociale, favorendo la trasmissione di conoscenze pratiche e cercando di avvicinare le persone alla naturalezza e al rispetto urbano. A questo punto, la fusione di tutte queste nuove connotazioni morfologiche passerà alla scala architettonica. L’idea è la creazione di un’infrastruttura aperta con aule, laboratori e un anfiteatro, che ospita un grande spazio multifunzionale che si adatta alle diverse esigenze del parco. Questa struttura sosterrebbe la casa Quintil e il laboratorio già riabilitato nel 2016, in cui, attualmente, le organizzazioni e i professionisti che aprono il Parco, mantengono programmi partecipativi e progetti che contribuiscono allo sviluppo sociale e ambientale di Valparaiso. Il master plan vuole trasformare il parco in una nuova attrazione sociale per reinserirlo nella rete urbana, lavorando con rispetto e a stretto contatto con la natura che lo circonda. Dopo uno studio approfondito sul parco e sui suoi problemi sociali, politici e morfologici, è stata formulata una soluzione per ripristinare concretamente il parco. Nel valutare tutti gli elementi, la conclusione è che il problema principale che descrive l’isolamento del parco è l’accessibilità. Il parco, essendo situato sul lato della Ruta 68, una strada ad alta velocità e ad alto traffico, non ha una viabilità che gli permette di essere accessibile al pubblico. Il progetto architettonico consiste nella formulazione di un centro di diffusione del parco, che è di per sé ingresso e allo stesso tempo attrazione e attivatore sociale. Il parco nasce sul fondo di un burrone, creando uno stato di isolamento che porta alla creazione di discariche naturali a causa della mancanza di flessibilità spaziale. L’idea è che l’ingresso al parco, il centro di diffusione, sia una passerella che collega il quartiere con il parco e, di conseguenza,il momento più alto della collina con il più basso della quebrada e, che la forma naturale di quest’ultima sia la culla che ospiterà la nuova struttura.
