The proposal consists of creating an urban park that addresses the recreational, sports, and civic needs of the community, shaping a space capable of significantly improving the environment while remaining sustainable in its operation and maintenance. It is conceived as a meeting place for both the local community and visitors.

The urban park will include a built structure that supports the healthy development of the different activities and programs promoted by the local borough government and the surrounding community.

The project draws on collective creativity and on the experience of developers and architects with extensive expertise to respond to this need through the creation of a new urban object: a singular element capable of enabling a series of experiences that foster encounters between neighbors and visitors, strengthening the local community.

We call this urban object “El Ciaobelisco.” It is at once very simple and highly complex: a single object that offers multiple urban experiences. One can be above, in an elevated park; below, in the shade of magnificent concrete arches; inside, within a circular agora that allows for countless activities; or throughout the park itself, surrounded by lush vegetation characteristic of Mexico City.

El Ciaobelisco is complemented by a small building called “La Galería del Ciaobelisco.” This building is designed to host activities that can help finance the park’s maintenance, whether through social or cultural events, or simply as a rentable space for a couple of small businesses, such as a café or an ice cream shop.

The resources generated by the gallery will contribute to covering the park’s maintenance, security, and cleaning costs, without creating additional expenses for the local borough government and ensuring that the park remains in good condition over time.
