The project for the San Juan Park, inspired by pictorial composition and

, proposes a journey along the park’s boundary: a succession of actions in a new natural layout. This boundary is the end of Brunete’s urban fabricas well as the start of beautiful views of Madrid’s mountain range.

The starting point of the project is to study the preexistence, analyzing all existing natural and artificial elements in the area. This is done with the aim of preserving the environment, revaluing resources, and economizing the proposal.

Once we have studied the environment, we introduce new architectural elements that interact in different ways with the park's boundary and preexistence. This enables visitors towalk through a natural and perceptual journey.

Each of these new actions is nourished by the relationship with nature, urban preexistence, and new architectural elements. These actions, not conceived in plan as a mere drawing, but as a succession of events and perspectives that contribute to the experience.

Three actions mark the journey along the boundary: CARVING the terrain, REUSING urban preexistence, and BREAKING the topographic limit.

With a north-south orientation, the footbridge constitutes the end of the journey along the border. Whereas until now the footbridge was an element "to be seen", it now seeks to be part of the scene, contemplating the sunset and the privileged western views of Madrid’s mountain range.

Location on the boundary: The project is located on the boundary of the Madrid town of Brunete’s urban fabric, with privileged views of the western Madrid’s mountain range. We propose a journey from which to appreciate the surroundings and experience a new relationship with nature.

CARVING the terrain (amphitheater), REPURPOSINGurban preexistence (reused landscape curbs), and BREAKING the topographic limit (footbridge).
