The Viaducte des Arts at the Coulée verte René-Dumont in Paris (1993) or the High Lane in New York (2009) have managed to increase the urban quality in large areas of their cities. In both cases, a costly infrastructure of disused highways was reused to generate a planted promenade or a linear park getting back a dynamic point of view at a height of about ten meters above the city. With the perspective of the time elapsed since its construction we must conclude that, although their structural singularity does not make them exportable to other cities, their simple constructive conception does. In them is linked to the current technical capacity to generate green spaces over spaces of any other use. It is a new fertile land that allows the resolution of the complex problem produced by the accumulation of uses and requirements in the same place. In the present study case the objective is to recover an urban garden in Alcoy, known as la the Rose garden, without having to reduce the number of parking spaces of the garage that was built under it. At the same time, the project has to meet the surface requirements of an earthen mantle necessary to consider restored the use of green zone. The solution solves in eighty centimeters of thickness a manufactured earth capable of assuming bulky trees that return to the city and to the Rose garden their lost atmosphere.

The city in the territoryThe city of Alcoy stands on the valley of l'Alcoia, the valley is governed by the law that emanates from its rivers and adjacent lands. The Molinar river, with a steep hydraulic elevation (3%) and the Riquer or Barxell river, with a more gentle slope (1.5%), join to form the old Alcoy river, now called the Serpis river.The valley of l'Alcoià results from the intersection of the rambles and banks of the three rivers. With an average section of 50x400 m the east-west breeze is responsible for keeping the valley clean of pollution. TopographyDealing with this inherited topography, the city plan that includes the old village and urban sprawl between levels 525 and 540.This plane is so dominant that the morphological unity of City would not be comprehensible without it. Establishing the its scale, its routes and its urban perception as a continuum.The service plane obviates the planimetric discontinuities between the channels and the layout of the streets as the bridges provide the necessary connection to sew the banks and distract us from that discontinuity. The coherence of the bridges joining the streets produces in its inhabitants the perception or the feeling that the city is a continuous whole. Abstract.. http://dx
