Opposing to the passivity of the classical architecture, Ecosistema Urbano raises a new voice for urban space operations. Following the principle of optimization of energy resources and budgetary limits, Ecosistema Urbano triggers a new project, EcoBoulevard in Vallecas, Spain.
EcoBoulevard aims to recover uncontrolled urban planning, and creates a portable recycling system. The project consists of three "air trees" of 20 meters in diametre. The first tree can be defined as a temple of photosynthesis: the column that is covered with vegetation inside functions with the energy it creates itself thanks to the photovoltaic system. The second tree will be a similar structure, yet the third "air tree" will provide a public space where the audience will have the opportunity to sit and watch the videos projected on the huge screens inside the column.
Easy to dismantle, "air trees" present a light structure that serves as an urban recycling system as well as a regeneration of social public space.
