Estrategia de diseño en el espacio público del Parque de las Luces de Medellín, para el mejoramiento de la calidad de vida urbana

In what way can a strategy that favors the stay of the users of Parque de las Luces of Medellín be materialized? The public space of the park is not very suitable to the needs of the people, due to the growing urbanization that increases the loss of green spaces, especially in the central metropolitan area where it is located, the park is currently used as a crossing area towards other sectors of the city due to its physical-spatial conditions, but due to the need for spaces "to be" it has been welcomed by the citizens as a short stay space, meeting point and mobilization and displacement area. What the project intends is to materialize a strategy that encourages permanence and a short and prolonged stay in the Parque de las Luces considering the aesthetics and needs of use of the place. For the development of the same, 5 theoretical bases were taken into account: Quality of urban life: (Clos, 2013 cited in Geahl, 2014), Urban equipment: (Fleitman, 2011, p2), time of permanence: (Gonzales. 2009, p.12), proxemics: Piñeda, A. in his text "Proxemic human being by nature", public space (Rangel, M. 2009, p.1). The methodology was defined based on making several visits to the park, in which observations were made, from which photographic records, surveys and interviews were collected, in specific days and hours and then highlight the elements such as furniture, people and different ways of appropriating public space. Fieldwork included elements such as park design concepts, users with their respective activities and routes in space, and identified interferences between the design thought and the current use of the park. From the above, a strategy supported by objectual design was reached, involving the three entities, the historical value of the park and the concept of light without neglecting the generation of shade, the sense of freshness and the interactivity of users with the object and the park
