Context
The project sits in the central sector of Rosa Toro, San Borja, and covers two blocks with 28 owners, including Pallardelli Park as a reactivation axis. The area suffers from accessibility problems caused by closed-off passageways, which undermine connection and urban identity.
"Parametric Pulse" is a specific plan that applies urban parameters and introduces EPAP — Privately Owned Public Spaces — to restore pedestrian connectivity and revitalise the sector's social fabric.
Parametric evolution
The built form is derived step by step: from the existing state to the definition of the urban plot, the estimated regulatory height and the massing of the buildings, ending in an isometric of the final subdivision.
The result is three buildings with a mix of uses — retail, housing, education and bonus areas.
Public space
The proposal prioritises accessibility, pedestrian connectivity and active use of public space. A central inclusive axis is designed with tactile paving, ground-floor food retail and a promenade with a bike lane; as a focal point, a sunken amphitheatre anchors the central park.
Types of EPAP
EPAP Comercio: a food boulevard with restaurants, cafes and retail, conceived as an open meeting point for the sector's pedestrians.
EPAP Campus: privately owned land fitted out as a public park, with green areas and a sunken amphitheatre for cultural and recreational activities.
EPAP Terraza: a public terrace integrated into the buildings, conceived as a green space to sit and take in views over the city.
