SEQUENCE STUDY-PROJECT AND DIRECTION OF WORKS.

TOPOGRAPHY:
Systematization of earth movements, accumulations of different types of ground strata (stone-bedrock-dirt-grass). These movements are planned in scale of actions and regarding perpendicular interventions to relate the Park and its view points to de Rio de la Plata. These limits outline the ranges of measurement of interventions with the topography, that are systematized in their different repeated configurations but accomodating different pressures that vary their configuration (each repetition varies in angle, it curvature)  establishing gradual differentiations.

TOPOGRAPHY-STREET
Through the movement of the street blocks, the border of the street could be banked for formalizing a special relationship enabling continuity between the street surface and the landscape. The vehicles can park to see the river, but they are not seen from the shore (at the time these slopes create a barrier to the continuous traffic) and in turn for their measures in height, they allow visual continuity with the landscape.

TOPOGRAPHY- A. WILLIAMS MONUMENT- FORESTATION
The topographic movement alternates views to the sited Amancio Williams sculpture and the river, establishing also a sectional formal relationship of sinuosity. The forestation follows also this movement with autochthonous plants that need little maintenance.
