PARQUE LINEAR CURUNDÚ
The project was inspired by the “Mola”, a Panamanian tapestry, which has overlapping layers and geometrical patterns. It was possible to create a design unifying the identity of the city.
The project consists of two main layers. The first is formed by the main streets assigned for motor vehicles and the second one by diagonals that form part of the linear park where the activities of the sector take place.
