Plaza de la Sinagoga en el centro histórico de Onda

The idea was designed from an inclusive perspective, to improve the quality of life of people in the neighborhood. The project tries to reconnect the different levels of the place, building a floor with a continuous paving of anti-slipping stone as an adaptation of the traditional paving system. The connections with the streets are solved with soft ramps and with stairs of small height, to facilitate the daily displacements of the elderly people. The historical Valencia Street had been lost when the archaeological area was opened up and is connected from the historical center. A large wooden platform that adapts to the natural topography with steps, recovers this historic access road. The floating plaza is a continuity of the public space of the surrounding streets, which overflies the archaeological space. A floating pavement of iroko wood slats, with details of handcrafted placement, on a steel structure that allows it to adapt to the topography. An urban space made of wood promotes the tactile sensation of small scale in urban spaces.
 La premisa inicial del proyecto fue dual al tener que realizar un proyecto de regeneración urbana, tratándolo con una perspectiva inclusiva para mejorar la calidad de vida de gente del barrio, y poner en valor los hallazgos arqueológicos de época andalusí (S.X-XII) y época cristiana (S.XIII-XV). El proyecto se centra además en reconectar los diferentes niveles del espacio urbano incluyendo un pavimento continuo de piedra adaptando el sistema de pavimentación tradicional local. Las conexiones con las calles se resuelven con rampas suaves y con peldaños reducidos para facilitar los desplazamientos diarios de los peatones.
