In the work they've been taken as "samples" 13 Andalusian villages, near to the Guadalquivir river and each of them different in planning and architectural composition. The aim of the project has been the reorganization of the space with "architectural signs" having the function of being recognizable, explotable and connected with the whole territory.

The project actions considered, for example, the construction of new docks, the rehabilitation of abandoned ones, the connection between a river park and the existing docks etc. The architectural experience made in Alcalà del Rio lead to the creation of a model exploitable also in other contexts; in this case the site became both an urband place and a connection pole between the river park and the territorial paths leading to the "pueblos". The area, whom extension is given by the width and the lenght of the riverside, became the "hinge" between the rual environment and the urban one. The park is composed of a succession of plans, where the different levels play a different role: the lower level create a contact with the water element through the docks and the wooden structures (some of them in the form of palafitte, others in the form of "parasite" structures on the wall of the dam); going up, the other levels design the park with stone wall, stairs and green spaces.
