Utopias and Ambitions for a new landscape, from The Urbans Voids perspective and The Biological Full perspective

Urban voids occupy space in the urban fabric without fulfilling a practical function, but these ‘not places’ are worthy of intervention because they are an opportunity to achieve points of dialogue between the urban dwellers and their city. This project has the mission of mitigate the effects that densification and its derivatives exert on the environment and society. The urban voids are almost always ephemeral spaces that are jumping in time throughout the city but that together make up peculiar landscapes worthy of study and intervention to help them reach their true potential. Contrary to a more utilitarian vision, this project proposes that urban voids have an enormous wealth, especially in the area of ecology, because the voids have potential life. This can be verified by the seed banks present in all the urban voids, and the intrinsic capacity that any void has  of being able to contain everything, which enables them to become fragments of a hidden landscape that threatens to appear with strength and vigor, like a serene silence amid an architectural noise that seems to invade every sector of the city. The present project postulates a model that can be applied to any urban void inserted in any city, since it has the capacity to be flexible and adaptable to different contexts, reactivating the voids as participants of the dynamics of the city, mitigating the impact that urban processes have on the environment and the primary nature of the soil that allows us to subsist.
