We won this invitation-only competition to develop an environmental park for kids in Chapultepec, Mexico City’s main public park. With a multidisciplinary group of specialists, a sequence of content was designed according to the size of the lot. In an effort to have the greatest amount of green areas, we opted for layout with a peripheral circulation. The green areas will become a botanical garden and the center around which the park will be structured. Environmentally designed installations are embedded as an inseparable element of both the garden and the erected structures.
