The mayor of Mula, Diego Cervantes, and the authors of the winning project of reform of the Glorieta, Enrique Ramos, Ciriaco Castro and Silva Polito, ESC Studio and based in London, have submitted the action to be carried out in which is considered one of the most emblematic parks in the locality, the Juan Carlos I, known as the Paseo de Mula.
The main idea on which it has focused the project is to open the square and turn it into an open space, restoring the image I had for years, creating a ride that breaks the rigidity of the previous setting and establishing a direct connection between the city and the heart of the square as they explain their authors.
The roundabout is designed as a space for citizens and for you to enjoy the surrounding buildings and vegetation that has, and stays in the new project.
Arises also in the same place you can develop multiple events simultaneously.
Some of the major changes expected is widening sidewalks and eliminating barriers.
Paving takes a leading role in the square, marking its character and image.
Composed of slabs of concrete and then polished fragments marking the central route between the islands of activity, with a completely flat surface allowing disabled access, integrating with some steep parts lighting fixtures, benches and landscaped areas protection, requiring a very low maintenance and have minimal environmental impact during construction.
The plaza is designed as a completely self-sufficient space in terms of energy.
Are distributed around the square a number of energy generating elements and conditioning person.
At the top of these elements are provided with photovoltaic cells and micronization of water on the adjacent spaces, as commander of temperature in the summer, and in turn generate the necessary energy for lighting of the square.
Further provides systems, rainwater tanks, underground storage for use in irrigation of green spaces in the plaza.
Drainage channels formed naturally by the relief of the square leading to containers groundwater beneath the greenery.
