The purpose of this design is to use the old city walls left over from the Spanish colonial era in Viejo San Juan to create convenient facilities to re-endow these historical relics with value in the 21st century.
The construction method of the park adopts the local wooden frame and brick wall structure, aiming to create a light and breathable community shared area.
Functionally speaking, this new hanging garden will be used as a viewing area and a direct vertical path. On the other hand, the new created space will also serves as public space including: marketplace, children's playground, open theater, open cafe and pubs.
