In Mediterranean peri-urban littoral, the pollution of maritime aerosol affects the survival and the growth of pines and other plants.
In this way, create an extension forest, like the existent one is not viable!
The canopy is the architectural element with more references to a tree.
The strongest points are: the pillars and the cover.
The Pillars
One of the most characteristic signs of the littoral pine is its light inclination in direction of the dominant wind. This wind is the cause of the impossibility to replant pines. This verticality contrasts with the horizon line of the sea.
The Cover
To create a shade by means of the pegola who remembers) the shade of the pinegrove.
Undulation, movement, the canopy is made by a hexagonal grid of fibreglass (Material resistant to the marine salt) that moves lightly with hard wind. Mounted like a “mecano”, very fast, the time is spend in design.

The shapes look very much like graffiti. I quite like the plants in the gardens, and this looks like a nice park, especially given the restrictions on the plants that can be used. I generally like parks to be more obviously related to nature, but in this case it seems like a fun alternative.

The concept is caught with tweezers
it’s preaty good, nice idea, but i trully think the park would be beter with litle bit more natural shade – i.e. more trees
i love the natural tree option too. just dont know how long It’ll take to grow them.
by the way what specie of tree are those. i like the canopy effect.
