Colectivo Urbano - Landscape/Slide

Year of Construction: 2015

Inspired by the sea pools in Lisbon, Colectivo Urban sits on a historical landmark. It was originally built in 1915 and was a social gathering hub for many famous people and thus a big touristic attraction. After it got hit by a hurricane in 1954, the site was abandoned and the pool was only used after a long period of time by locals and the passerby.

As part of a revitalizing project, Colectivo Urbano composed of five architecture, landscape, and urbanism firms proposed to recycle, clean and return the site to its historical splendor by adding a playful spiral slide that becomes an interaction with tidal water.
