My main interest is to understand how people occupy the public parks, how much time they spend in them, how they sit, which activities are most popular, if they prefer to sit under the sun or under a shadow, how this behavior changes throughout the year with the different seasons and what are the main attractions that make people interested in one park or another, in order to create a parametric surface that adapts to the user’s needs.

This map reflects the different public parks of the city, the public art as a main attraction, both tourist and local, and finally a relation of the different farmer’s market that pop up around the city creating also an anchor for social and urban life.

As we can see, these three concepts are usually located near each other, and create a richer public space offering a variety of activities, amenities, etc.
