In a city of the importance and scale of Caracas, offering ample and accessible recreational spaces for the enjoyment of its citizens becomes a social necessity.Protecting green areas for the ecological benefit of the city is also fundamental.The transformation of “La Carlota” airport into an urban park offers a unique and critical opportunity to value, protect and ensure a better social and ecological future for the people of the city.

考虑到城市中的Caracas地区的重要性和规模，它急需为市民提供充足并且容易被使用的社交休闲空间，同时保护现有绿地面积以维护该地区的生态效能也是工程的基本要求。将LA Carlota机场改造为城市公园提供了这样一个独特而有争议的机会，希望通过这项工程来保护绿地并且确保其成为一个有着更好社交和生态前景的市民公共活动空间。

The proposal is concentrated on three main gestures. The first is to understand the city as a interconnected network of public spaces, recreational areas and green corridors that clarify the city′s legibility and guarantee better pedestrian movement. The second is the concentration of social and programmatic activities into public nodes understood as a “System of Cultural Parks”, where “La Carlota” represents a catalyst toward its conceptualization and implementation. Lastly, attention is paid to the physical organization of “La Carlota’s” 405 acres which evolves through a process of determined phases.

这个项目的开展有三个主要的特点:首先将城市理解为一个相互联系的公共空间网。娱乐空间和绿廊明确了城市特征并且提供了更加宜人的城市步行空间。其次希望能将能将社会和集体活动集中在在公共节点中进行，这些节点就是“城市文化公园系统”。而La Carlota恰好催生了这种理念的产生和项目的执行。最后将注意力集中于La Carlota 这405英亩（约160公顷）绿地的空间营造，并在改造过程中逐渐形成了更为清晰的设计理念。

The organization of the park is composed of three “layers” that also reveal the history of the site. A line of indigenous trees delineate the topography of the site (the natural state),the runway is transformed into a boulevard (the present condition), and programmatic “cells” become the new addition and layer of the site (the green future).
整个公园由三个层面构成，这三个层面分别揭示了这个基地的历史背景。本土植物的排列形式描述了基地的地貌地形（代表基地的自然条件）.机场跑道被改造成了林荫步道（代表基地的现有使用情况）.一个个有计划形成的“绿色细胞”构成了基地新的层次（代表基地的绿色未来）。

The takeoff runway is the park′s main structuring device that progressively transforms itself into an element full of life. Lined with Venezuela’s national tree the “Araguaney”, which turns bright yellow in the spring, it becomes a spectacle that can be observed from various points in the Caracas valley. In addition, multiple ravines descend from the surrounding hills and traverse the site diagonally so that they may be used to collect stormwater drainage and create new lakes and wetlands within the park. Cut and fill is implemented so that excavated material is turned into recreational hills and activity cells with varying programmatic identities. A hill becomes a place for kite flying, a wooded area becomes a “bring your own hammock” section, and a hot air balloon offers the city dwellers the opportunity to “take off” just as the airplanes once did.

这个起飞跑道是公园主要的构筑物设施，逐渐将它改造成了一个充满生活情趣的地方。沿着跑道种植的是本土树种Araguaney，这种树在春天的新叶是金黄色的，从公园的各个角度都看到这幅金色的美景。此外，从周围的小山形成的多条沟壑状的地形斜穿过这片场地，所以设计师利用这种地形收集暴雨时的雨水并在公园内形成湖面和湿地。设计师还将基地内多余的材料堆成了具有娱乐功能的小山和具有不同特色的活动场地。例如小山可以用来放风筝，树林区则成为吊床休闲的区域，热气球给了城里人一个不一样的在旧有飞机跑道上“起飞”的体验。

Many of the existing hangars and buildings are recycled and converted into cultural and educational centers. New bridges over the Fajardo highway north of the site connect the new park with Roberto Burle Marx’s “Parque del Este” and other neighborhoods south and east of the park are connected by means of pedestrian bridges and new access points. Furthermore, two north-south traffic corridors are introduced traversing the park without interrupting the spatial continuity of the surface while significantly improving vehicular and public transportation mobility in the city.

许多现有的飞机库和建筑物都被重新利用，成为了文化教育中心。新的桥跨过了基地北部的Fajardo高速，将新公园和 Roberto Burle Marx的“Parque del Este”联系起来；在基地南部和东部居住的人可以通过步行桥来到这里。此外，两个南北交通交通走廊已经引入公园，这样在穿越公园时就可以不打断公园内部空间的连贯性，同时又使得车辆和公共交通的行驶更加顺畅。
