Best Paraglider Harness

As explained to us some months ago on his blog and Territory Islands, one of the measures to combat the crisis is to cultivate our own garden with staples.

A part of the current economic situation makes us reflect on these aspects, there are other very interesting data on the other hand concern which should be evaluated.

By 2050, nearly 80% of the world's population reside in cities. Applying the most conservative estimates of population growth, global population will increase by 3 billion people on these dates. Continuing with the current agricultural practices, will need about 1000 million hectares of new land to produce food for this population. According to the FAO and NASA about 80% of productive land are currently in use. That is why you should look for new land suitable for primary use to cope with such a high demand ahead.

Currently there are trends that seek to introduce the agricultural uses in urban areas or else in their surroundings. This is what is called peri-urban agriculture or urban. Urban agriculture is not dependent on transport of products and is relatively immune to fuel price volatility, impacting heavily on energy efficiency. Quality usually improves products against those of industrial production, reducing preservatives for the reduction of travel. In turn generates employment greatly strengthen local economies.

In cities like Havana in Cuba that urban agriculture has emerged after the destruction of the third part of the island plantations by successive hurricanes occurred. However before the collapse of the Soviet Union had military plans in this regard to Cuba could be self-sufficient in case of war. Now it takes as much land available for productive uses. They are used to cultivate every vacant lot, the roofs of buildings and even parking spaces.

This concept of using decks and basements as arable areas has been taken to another level in countries "ultra developed" as Japan. The roofs of large buildings in Tokyo have become authentic plantation and generate employment, help alleviate the warming of the island. Methods "high-tech applied to agriculture and hydroponics help get some productivity without adequate soils. Notwithstanding the need for artificial fertilizers hydroponic so sustainability is compromised.

The application of high technologies in agricultural techniques reaches its peak with the emergence of "vertical crop (skyfarming). Just as societies live in vertical cities, there is the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating buildings of a certain height for agricultural production, using the most innovative.

Architects SOA Proposal

In many cities, the existing open spaces have been converted in small gardens trying to raise awareness in society of its importance. Even in the White House with his new tenant Barack Obama, has decided to plant a garden, the first since grown by Eleanor Roosevelt during the Second World War. This seems to want to set an example to the public.

We have seen that agriculture is introduced into the cities, however another issue requiring mention is how to adapt to urban growth into rural areas. For example the search of new building types that interact with agricultural environments. No doubt a very interesting and close to our profession in an island territory like ours. I hope someone will be encouraged to write about it ...

PARK TRINITY KNOT (Enric Batlle and Joan Roig)

In numerous occasions he had heard of this urban park, but I had not noticed him peculiarity until I met their secrets in the last lecture given last year 2008 by one of its authors, Enric Batlle, in the demarcation of Tenerife in the Canary Islands Institute of Architects.

The Trinity Knot (Nus Trinitat) is located in the northeast of Barcelona and is one of the places with more traffic conflict of the city. At this point various pathways converge as the Ronda Litoral, Ronda de Dalt, C-58 Highway Sabadell-Terrassa-Manresa, Girona Autopista C-33, France or the Highway to Maresme.

great thing about this project is as the authors Enric Batlle and Joan Roig are capable of generating a high quality urban space in the middle of a knot of highways and railways, it is also vital for the region where it is located. Manage to turn an inhospitable and unpleasant, which apparently would waste for all citizens, in an area of \u200b\u200bopportunity in which to locate a park on a large scale where they appear vineyards, olive groves, fruit trees on trellises and even a river. Are certainly reminiscent of a rural world that travel through these channels from other parts of the country to come together in this venue. Another of his projects, recovery of the Garraf dump landscape, becomes a repeat this strategy of returning to the public a totally degraded.

The park is protected from noise by manipulation of the land outright but using geometric shapes such as circular mound or other strong curved lines that "ordered" the sense of traffic chaos. A circular gallery divides the park into an interior area of \u200b\u200bone external. The multiplicity of lines converged traffic, power in the project with the addition of bands of vegetation, water and boundary elements. As Batlle said in his statement, the trees present are aligned through the proposed mound like soldiers in the battle forward in single file. It seems evident that the connectivity is the key to making this space a success.

ADVANCE REVIEW OF LAGUNA

In the past month of November 2008, CPPA participated in the drafting of the General Management Plan Review of San Cristobal de La Laguna , specifically at the stage of Advance Planning for Adaptation to Consolidated Full 1 / 2000 of the Territory of the Canaries and full adaptation to the Law 19/2003 on the General Guidelines and Tourism.

Our team was responsible for formulating proposals for management of the urban centers of Bajamar, Punta del Hidalgo, Valle de Guerra and Tejina. These proposals came after an earlier phase of Urban Information and Diagnostics, which found the existing problems of each of these nuclei Harriers. Currently, these proposals are in a period of public exhibition and public consultation. In these days are holding meetings in each of the nuclei to explain the document and review management's proposals raised. This is the link where you can view the document in its entirety Advance: Advance

General Management Plan de La Laguna

for the core of Punta del Hidalgo arise concerning alternatives the following topics:

- management options for agricultural peninsula Punta. The existing large agricultural area in Punta occupies over 90 hectares of land and is partially cultivated with banana plantations and greenhouses. This space forms a strategic place to incorporate recreational sports facilities could be supplemented with new tourist accommodation. Turn has raised the option of promoting farming in the area, setting up tourist facilities related to agriculture.

Alternative 2: Tourist establishments linked to agriculture

- Intervention in the districts of La Hoya and the homicide. The objective is the treatment of the districts of La Hoya and homicide as the structure suffers from certain aspects morfotipológica ending to define its urban fabric. Both present difficulties of access, quality of housing, furnishings, etc.

Views from the homicide

To Bajamar studied the following aspects:

- Improvements existing road structure. The core of Bajamar has some accessibility issues related to the absence of adequate crossings for access to the central area roads with insufficient section for the road along with a notable shortage of parking which greatly affects the users of the pools summer . This requires improvements in the existing road network or the creation of a new variant to the TF-13 from the south.

- Basic Proposals in the palm of Bajamar . For this large area south of the town of Bajamar raises a number of alternatives such as the creation of an environmental theme microparks or the addition of a recreational sporting facility that could be complemented by tourist establishments housed.

Alternative 3: Generation of a recreational sporting facility

- Bajamar Port infrastructure and La Punta . Provides different options for implementation of port infrastructure in the Northeast coast of La Laguna (comprising the coastal fronts Bajamar and Punta del Hidalgo).

Tejina In proposing these topics:

- Management residential areas unique. Provides for the incorporation of two vacant areas, one north and one south of Tejina, having sufficient size to comply surface as unique areas. For location and insertion into the urban fabric, should have global use residential however, its size and urban function makes it advisable to raise basic options for management, unlike other parts whose small size forced vacancies schemes management.

- Management of the area south edge of Tejina singular. Among Tegueste Tejina and, in the town of La Laguna, there are still undeveloped land to acquire a special strategic value for the auction and conformation of both urban cores. The thematic scope is defined precisely because of the space frontier understood as a unique area of \u200b\u200bTejina for which it raised basic management alternatives. The alternatives are defined by the global use to apply in this area among which tertiary mixed use, industrial and agricultural.

War To Valley these alternatives include:

- Improvements the existing road structure . The objective is to evaluate the new elements that could be introduced to improve the road structure of Valle de Guerra. Proposed new routes north, south and even in the central area of \u200b\u200bthis nucleus semivacante. The development or otherwise of these pathways is defined by the chosen model of urban growth.

Alternative 3. Creation of new road network in the core areas of Valle de Guerra. Pathway linked to reserve free space for parking, bike lanes and convenient pedestrian circulation.

- central spaces. This section focuses on the different possibilities to provide Valley War structural axis of the core economic activity.

- New productive spaces. This theme aims to raise the various options for the management of a territory to the kernel entry that may hold production activities, contributing significantly to the development of Valle de Guerra. For this study the possibility of holding a new exhibition ground east of Valle de Guerra, where mixed use would be located tertiary industrial or agricultural use of high production.

Apart from the issues identified for each core was studied various options for delimitation and extension of the core, to determine the most appropriate growth model.
