“landscape_fluxes” - Redesign of the Municipal Park Salina, Larnaca, Cyprus

The project "landscape_fluxes" was awarded with the 2nd Prize at the Architectural Competition for Salina Park in Larnaca, Cyprus.

The central idea derives from the need to create a well-organized area of urban nature in a relationship of mutual ‘osmosis’ between the park and the city.  Main objective of the project is the creation of an open, accessible public space, a contemporary urban park with ecological-bioclimatic character that gradually leads the visitor from the city’s buzz to an enclosed landscape of recreation. The projects envisions a field of landscape fluxes, a dynamic new landscape, a permeable green buffer zone of passages, in which osmotic relations can be developed from the city towards the new park. A filter of greenery and an introductory square, lead to the main area of the park – an introverted clearing of recreation for outdoor activities. There, the cafe-restaurant kiosk is located and a dynamic natural scenery is being created which changes during the four seasons.

The proposal creates a pole of attraction for local and supra-local uses, in the framework of an holistic landscape eco_strategy. The park has three aspects that aim to: (a) create an urban bio_park with ecological and bioclimatic character, (b) emphasize the social dimension /socio_park of the project as an outdoor space of the city life and expression, (c) integrate new informative and management technologies/smart_park, by creating a space for citizens sensibility to energy issues and self-sufficiency, active in recycling and urban resilience, aware of climate change and environmental crisis.
