Park Brejinho Landscaping Location: Belo Horizonte - Brazil Size: 1.580m2
The area today
The ‘Park of Brejinho’ is located in the city of Belo Horizonte, in the interior of Brazil, and has in its area, seven sources that feed an important watershed. Unfortunately, the growth of the city has damaged those sources. In an attempt of preserving this area, and not letting it be ‘consumed’ by its surroundings, we made a proposal of a park were people can go visit and learn more about the importance of its maintenance. It has also great potential to be a recreational area to the local population, composed mainly by young couples who live nearby and students from the two universities located in the surroundings. And even just as a short cut to pedestrians. Having that in mind, we proposed a park that could be used by people from different ages at different times of the day. So we predicted areas that could be used by kids and youngsters, such as sports court, playgrounds and a arena for concerts and presentations in general. To elderly people, running and jogging tracks and places to rest and eat.
