Red-Painted Steel River Parks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Entorno y Contexto Forms the Stretch of the Papaloapan River

— January 29, 2025 — Art & Design
Architecture firm Entorno y Contexto has redeveloped the stretch of the Papaloapan River which is nestled in Tuxtepec, Oaxaca. It installs the river park with lightweight steel materials at the structure resting on stilts and landscaping. The large development stretches out to four kilometers by the riverfront and features four stilted steel structures and a large space of paths, recreation, and conversation areas.

The director of Entorno y Contexto, Alejandro Polo Lamadrid speaks about the project to Dezeen, "Building on and extending the historical lineage of the park, we focused on the concept of spatial articulation to create a coherent structure that ensures the legibility and accessibility of the public environment. Our aim was to facilitate the introduction of recreational, cultural and sports facilities within the complex while promoting the restoration of areas of environmental and landscape value."
