In addition to all these professionals, the team will also have the collaboration of specialists in areas such as sustainability, lighting and urban flows.
This innovative project will convert the Azca area “in a more connected, open and accessible space” creating an urban ecosystem of great biodiversity formed by plant species, and in which, in addition, the capture of rainwater, channeled through fountains and water games, will allow to store said water in order to self-supply consumption for irrigation and sources.
In the heart of the superblock will unfold “a great green meadow” capable of hosting outdoor activities that can be attended by between 100 and 200 people.
As part of the strategy to promote biodiversity in the place, it is intended to replicate the plant typologies that already exist in the Community of Madrid. The goal is to create new urban habitats that promote the human coexistence with flora and fauna that are typical of the region.
