The proposal for the redevelopment of this urban space involves the pursuit of a singular identity for this great void urban and urban connection between the Almeda district and the Martinet primary school, located across the Ronda de Dalt highway.

It projects a clear distribution of paths delimited by large undulations of the ground plane forming “dunes” which connect the two sides of the highway. The trees intended to form a continuous screen at far distances to reduce the visual impact of the highway, while a regular grid of lights hung, generates a reference plane offset the sharp linearity of the highway.
