Green Islands

Qormi

Client: Project Green

 
The site is part of a vast stormwater culvert network spanning the island. Previously abandoned, it’s now pivotal in a busy area for vehicles, transport, and pedestrians. Amid industrial and residential zones, it’s near the village center, addressing health and infrastructural needs, revitalizing a valley, and adding human-scale spaces to Qormi’s transport hub. 

“Green islands” cover the culvert, providing activity spaces. A tree-lined track and intimate enclaves with lush vegetation cater to solitude or socializing. Pedestrian-friendly paths vary speeds, promoting a vibrant, green experience. Enclaves, linked by bridges over the culvert, feature vibrant foliage, defining spaces. Concrete elements aid navigation in this transformed corridor. 

These enclaves, linked by the jogging track and connected via bridges over the culvert, feature vibrant foliage and colorful creepers, defining enclosures and open spaces. Concrete elements serve as navigational markers within the extensive linear landscape, enhancing the overall experience of traversing this transformed urban corridor.
