The project occupies a 94 sqm triangular plot that had previously been abandoned and associated with insecurity and neglect. Through a process of participatory design and collective construction, the site was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/renovation-architecture-and-design\/\">transformed<\/a><\/strong> into a compact public space that addresses the neighborhood\u2019s limited access to communal areas, with less than 4% coverage, while fostering social interaction and environmental resilience.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The park\u2019s geometry defines its spatial and organizational logic. The triangular form guided the distribution of hard and green surfaces, urban furniture, and structural elements such as columns and a pergola. The resulting composition balances 50% permeable green surfaces with 50% hardscape, integrating planters with native, low-water-consumption vegetation. With limited financial resources, construction was achieved through community self-management. More than fifteen local families participated in collective building sessions, contributing labor, materials, and time. The use of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/recycling\/\">recycled<\/a><\/strong> and donated elements shaped both the structure and its identity. This process not only enabled construction within budget constraints but also reinforced community ownership of the space.<\/p>\n<p>all images courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tallerciudadportatil\/\">Taller Ciudad Port\u00e1til<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\"><strong>Urban Regeneration utilizes Low-Impact Construction<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Material selection reflects a circular and low-impact approach. Concrete with recycled aggregates, reclaimed pine wood, and metal profiles were used for structure and furnishings. Autonomous solar lighting was installed to ensure energy efficiency and nighttime usability. The pergola, elevated to 2.6 meters and designed with segmented elements, enhances shade and ventilation, improving thermal comfort under Neiva\u2019s warm climate. Ten cubic volumes emerge from the ground plane, five serving as structural supports and five functioning as urban furniture, including benches and chess tables. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tallerciudadportatil\/\">Architects<\/a><\/strong> at Taller Ciudad Port\u00e1til utilized color as a unifying element throughout the project. A collectively chosen palette of reds, yellows, whites, and blacks was applied to floors, columns, and a community mural, reinforcing neighborhood identity and visual coherence.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Beyond its physical construction, the project demonstrates the capacity of participatory architecture to improve urban and social conditions simultaneously. The park increased public space availability, introduced vegetation that enhances microclimate conditions, and reactivated community engagement. Within its small footprint, Community Park Veinte de Mayo illustrates how collaborative design and circular construction methods can generate lasting social, spatial, and environmental value.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Community Park Veinte de Mayo occupies a 94-square-meter triangular plot in Neiva, Colombia<\/p>\n<p>the project was designed by Taller Ciudad Port\u00e1til through a participatory and collaborative process<\/p>\n<p>the site, once abandoned and unsafe, has been transformed into a public gathering space<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the triangular geometry defines the organization of surfaces, structures, and circulation<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>more than fifteen families contributed labor, materials, and time to the park\u2019s construction<\/p>\n<p>hard and green areas are distributed in equal measure, balancing permeability and usability<\/p>\n<p>recycled and donated materials formed the foundation of the park\u2019s structure and identity<\/p>\n<p>concrete with recycled aggregates was used for the primary surfaces and structural base<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>some cubes incorporate built-in chess tables for informal recreation and social interaction<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Community Park Veinte de Mayo<\/p>\n<p><strong>designer:<\/strong> Taller Ciudad Port\u00e1til | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tallerciudadportatil\/\">@tallerciudadportatil<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Neiva, Colombia<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>promoter:<\/strong> Municipality of Neiva (Mayor Germ\u00e1n Casagua Bonilla) + Secretariat of Housing and Habitat of Neiva + Community of the Veinte de Mayo Neighborhood<\/p>\n<p><strong>project management and supervision:<\/strong> Arch.
