Get to know with <\/b>\u00a0Mu\u00f1oz Arquitectos y Quesnel Arquitectos a project that rescues a forgotten railway park and turns it into a representative public space of the city of M\u00e9rida in <\/span>1st anniversary of La Plancha Park.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the heart of M\u00e9rida, <\/span>“La Plancha” <\/b>emerges, reclaiming the forgotten railway park of the former \u201cFerrocarriles del Sureste\u201d. With an area of 20 hectares, “La Plancha” stands as a public space, the mana gement and implementation of which are the result of citizen and government collaboration, <\/span>
\n<\/span>designating 85% of its area to green spaces, thus becoming the city’s lungs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The design arises from the complexity of the terrain’s shape, with a strong geometry that guides the pathways. The first path is <\/span>LINEAR<\/b> (750 m), supported by a modular column system, whose apparent disorder adds dynamism to the experience of walking through. This path connects the terrain longitudinally and culminates in a second path, <\/span>CIRCULAR <\/b>(350 m in diameter), with a \u201cwinged\u201d roof supported by a central column, transforming this stroll into a completely different experience. A third system of transverse walkways functions as an urban \u201cscar\u201d, healing an ancestral \u201crailway wound\u201d that divided the city center.<\/span><\/p>\n

The walkways are the <\/span>\u201cconducting threads\u201d <\/b>of the park, creating experiences of light, shade, and ventilation, linking various points and activities, and connecting to the historic center of the city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One premise of the design was to preserve the historical memory of the site. The echo of the railway and its history is maintained by preserving and highlighting the existing structures, as well as all the railcars and locomotives present on the grounds.<\/span><\/p>\n
