The project A New Vision for the Olympic Neighborhood aims to provide the Olympic Neighborhood and its surrounding area with local services and facilities that promote residents’ development and improve the urban quality of the sector.

To address this challenge—and in response to the needs identified through citizen surveys—two vacant lots within the Olympic Neighborhood blocks were selected for intervention, activating them as public spaces for community development.
On Lot 1, the proposal includes a plaza that responds to the current high demand for safe, accessible, everyday public spaces with programs for play, gathering, and sports—particularly aimed at children and teenagers. Although the area features significant public parks and open land, these often lack proximity and a sense of neighborhood ownership. The proposed intervention offers a contained plaza designed for the daily use of local residents and neighboring communities.

On Lot 2, a compact and flexible building is proposed to accommodate programs and activities linked to innovation and development. The ground floor is conceived as a large open space connected to the exterior, while the upper floors host workshops and meeting rooms. The levels are articulated through double-height spaces and a recurring service core that extends to the rooftop, making it accessible and usable as an extension of the activities.

These two lots are connected through public space and entrance esplanades, allowing them to function together as a unified complex. At the same time, each lot establishes direct connections with the inner courtyard of its respective block, ensuring urban relationships that foster local and community activity.
