Abstract
En la región de Valparaíso, el crecimiento urbano ha acentuado problemáticas como el déficit de áreas verdes de calidad, la escasa oferta recreacional y una conectividad urbana deficiente. Muchas comunas carecen de espacios públicos accesibles y bien equipados, lo que impacta directamente en el bienestar y la vida cotidiana de sus habitantes. Además, infraestructuras mal integradas fragmentan el territorio y dificultan la cohesión urbana, lo que plantea la necesidad de repensar el vínculo entre espacio público, paisaje e infraestructura. Ante este escenario, el proyecto propone redefinir el aeródromo de Torquemada como un sistema funcional que integre aeropuerto y parque urbano, incorporando una dimensión ecológica, cultural y social. El objetivo es generar un espacio de transición mediante un corredor biológico que articule una gradiente verde de tres niveles: un jardín botánico de alta densidad vegetal contemplativo como proyección futura, una zona deportiva intermedia y un sector de contemplación y transición con menor carga paisajística. Este corredor culmina en el aeropuerto, creando un espacio de interfaz que conecta naturaleza, arte y arquitectura, y transforma la infraestructura en un nuevo nodo de integración territorial. La propuesta busca mitigar impactos ambientales como el ruido y las emisiones, pero también propone una nueva forma de ocupar el territorio, donde lo natural y lo construido se entrelacen en un diseño funcional, sensible y participativo. Así, el proyecto aspira a convertirse en un modelo replicable para el desarrollo de ciudades más sostenibles, conectadas y habitables.
In the Valparaíso region, urban growth has intensified issues such as the deficit of high-quality green areas, limited recreational opportunities, and poor urban connectivity. Many municipalities lack accessible and well-equipped public spaces, directly affecting the well-being and daily life of their inhabitants. Moreover, poorly integrated infrastructures fragment the territory and hinder urban cohesion, highlighting the need to rethink the relationship between public space, landscape, and infrastructure. In response, this project proposes redefining the Torquemada aerodrome as a functional system that integrates an airport with an urban park, incorporating ecological, cultural, and social dimensions. The aim is to create a transitional space through a biological corridor that organizes a three-level green gradient: a contemplative botanical garden with high vegetation density envisioned as a future projection, an intermediate sports area, and a contemplative transition zone with lighter landscape intensity. This corridor culminates in the airport, shaping an interface that connects nature, art, and architecture, and transforms infrastructure into a new node of territorial integration. The proposal seeks not only to mitigate environmental impacts such as noise and emissions but also to establish a new way of inhabiting the territory, where the natural and the built are interwoven in a functional, sensitive, and participatory design. In this way, the project aspires to become a replicable model for the development of more sustainable, connected, and livable cities.
