RIVERINE CITY
The riverside has a unique and very powerful nature that needs to be understood from different perspectives in order to give a careful response to the previsions of its future development. It is also an area of historic relevance. Citizens from Quilmes have a good consideration of the riverside although they are aware of its current bad condition…
RIVERINE ECOLOGIES
The development of a new Riverine City is defined by the careful treatment of the existing ecosystem and the understanding of complex hydraulic logics.
The management of the flood and the respect to the ecology of the site defines the future development of this area.
HYDRAULIC PROTECTIONS
In a first phase, the highway is improved in order to serve as a protection for sudestada itself, adding some flood gates when needed, eliminating the need of a parallel levee. The consolidated neighborhoods in the riverside are also protected with a new system of levees and green protections. The streams in the riverside are widened and converted into green ways.
RIVERINE DEVELOPMENT
New urbanized areas are defined within the private plots along the riverside. These urbanized areas are located on the edges of the berms defined for flood protection.
The total built up area is reduced to 66% of the current private proposals, resulting in a more suitable proposal for the ecosystem in the riverside.
