The current Paseo de la O and its continuity and connection with the c/Betis are enclaves linked to the historical memory of the Barrio de Triana and the city of Seville. The historical importance of the Guadalquivir River as it passes through the city, its transformations over time, along with the archaeological and architectural heritage that gathers around it, makes this place one of the most beautiful urban spaces to visit and tour the city.
Synthetically we propose a "naturalization of the Promenade and its connections". We imagine the promenade where the passage of time will allow a continuity of large riverside trees, and qualify the space with the necessary comfort for enjoyment at any time of year. From its horizontal surface, increasing permeability in general and its vegetation surface, generating a friendlier transition between the transited areas and the rest areas.
The materiality of the proposal takes into account the search for unity and integration with the surrounding environment, limiting the solutions to the available budgetary constraints. In order to improve the pedestrian and bicycle circulation in the area, it is proposed its surface treatment in the joints of the existing granite cobblestone and combine it with a new surface of small granite cobblestone as a material to achieve its suitability as a new accessible pedestrian itinerary, trying to block the limits of both in a natural way.
The surroundings of the old Castillo de San Jorge and the abutments of the Isabel II Bridge were traditionally places of temporary sheds, docks and piers where the suburb interacted with the river. A place where the Project reinforces its more public character to meet, rest and recreate while contemplating unique images of the historic city, making it the most recognizable public space of the intervention. A new space in whose limits resonates the evocative dimension of the interaction between nature and architecture.
