A
Ecology educational park at the banks of river Phoenix, Achaia
The proposal for an ecology educational park addresses the site of the river below the highway between two municipalities and suggests the reversal of a left-over and abused site into a recreational destination. A long time garbage damp, not uncommon for river banks and torrents, the area would be transformed into a sustainable park and natural habitat,with landscape restoration, creation of walks, water catchment dams and planting of indigenous species. In addition to these the programmatic design allows for mild uses such as sports activities (tennis, bicycle paths, jogging, swimming, etc).
Park’s information and educational center
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
A “good environmental practices� demonstration site which will include composting, energy harvesting from Renewable energy sources and grey water cleaning techniques are part of the program. An information kiosk on local ecosystems and species is the only light structure on site, made of metal and wood, raised above ground on stilts or on a bridge that connects the two river banks. The proposal represented the NGO Achaean Sympoliteia
