Industrial Character

Alrode, Johannesburg


The Stormwater Park has a width of 57m and a length of 1,7km. Located perpendicularly to blocks of manufacturing industries, it offers the workers and the people of the town a place to rest and enjoy while maintaining a coherence with its industrial context by the use of materials, such as steel and sand. Beneath overhead line conductors, low-height species and the water treatment plant is conceived, whilst on the external sides of the park, a leisure program is proposed. The monumentality of the electric towers and water treatment infrastructure, set the scale of the park while defining stages and different areas.
