Progetto del parco urbano nel Barranco Santos a Santa Cruz de Tenerife – secondo settore

The term “Landscape “ has recently obtained several extensive meanings opening towards “multitudes” or “multiplicities” . Ideas and concepts proper of a discourse on natural processes or of what we can describe as an “abyss of the everyday dimension of the city”. Perceiving the landscape from within could be useful to describe spaces, site-architectures, which normally denies classifications. To place the eye inside and put it in motion “a modo veneziano”: with long and short views, simultaneously crossing scales and perspectives in a complex vision always within an inside an interior other interiorities. This project is a result of a long term research on interstitial spaces, on sites defined by relations and processes proper of the urban complexity. An attempt to react with a dialogic approach within the times of the living city. From the mid-nineties to 2010, official opening, the Barranco dos Santos in Santa Cruz de Tenerife had been a sort of “urban laboratory” where to negotiate intentions, programs and policies which slowly obtained form: the urban park as a hybrid condenser of the experienceable city-landscape. A space pervaded by passions, obsessions, dreams and nightmares, which acts on senses and shows the possibility of an otra vision (otras visions).
