Ecological and Social Orchards
This intervention is a community garden initiated in the unused spaces of the Pablo de Olavide University campus. The garden and cultivation is open to the university community, students, professors, and faculty have the opportunity to apply for shared parcels and co-manage their piece of land from the planning stages to the planting and the cultivation. The intervention is also connected to the institution's education with certain classes and workshops using its managing model and space for learning purposes. (ref 1,5,8,9)
Guadalquivir River
“The Guadalquivir River offers some of the best landscape, ecological and environmental values. There is an exceptional variety of flora and fauna and the river is considered as one of the main lungs of the city and as a privileged area for the residents”. (Ref. 12) The river is an essential element of Cordoba, having been declared a natural monument in 2001. (Ref 3, p.4) There are ongoing efforts to maintain and restore the river as a natural and cultural heritage site (Ref. 1,2,5,8,9) and a space for recreational activities (Ref. 12).
