Renaturalisation of Avenida del Oeste, Valencia

Three strategic operations: ‘reorder’, ‘reduce’, and ‘greenify’. Ordering and containing road traffic, leaving a generous space for pedestrians and cyclists; Reducing visual noise, mainly using a material – golden and sanguine limestone – in pavements and vertical coverings, which show traces of history; Re-naturalizing the street on three levels, on the ground, green draining pavements, above them flowering pergolas that provide shade and camouflage parking emergencies, and groups of evergreen trees where possible.
