ATARES-INTERVENTION Enhancing Connection Between Inner City and Waterfront Area of Atares 1
ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Occupation The aim of this project is to re-connect the innert part of Atares and waterfront area in order to solve the problem of segregation. There are two main proposals: first, related to enhancement of inner neighborhood; second, related to the regeneration of waterfront post industrial area. The project started by seeing the area as a part of Havana Bay, and to see how the development of this area related to Havana Bay and metropolitan area. The project then proceed into smaller scale project, focus on local intervention to enhance spatial quality in the neighborhood. The zoom in proposal related to the enhancement of existing public

space, re-use of historical building, and re-construction of infrastructure elements to be integrated with landscape system.

The analysis started by seeing Havana Vieja as a whole and how the pattern of movement changed over time. Based on this analysis, it is shown that in current situation there is a strong tendency of creating continuous space for public along the waterfront. This then brings the opportunity for Atares to be more integrated to Havana Vieja and the whole Havana Bay through the creation of continuous waterfront promenade.
Zoom in into project scale, the analysis proceeded by seeing the spatial quality in the area. There are several positive qualities that can be enhanced and further elaborated in this proposal: the continuous line constructed by configuration of building mass and its arcade building typology, green space as a foundation of building mass, and grid pattern that allows movement and permeability.
