SPECIAL-NEEDS FRIENDLY PATHWAY
A brand new layout clever landscaping and a special_needs friendly
pathway
The main aim of the project is to solve the problems of universal accessibility and
mobility of the clients. The overall strategy is to provide not only a functional solution
for people with special needs but to ofer social inclusion, in a non-segregated
space. The project is made up of three components. The irst is a straight staircase
that connects the diferent levels. The second is a smooth ramp that gives direct
and universal access to the facilities and the solariums. The third element is a
triangular layout that integrates the walks into the surrounding landscape. The
whole layout ofers a 60% permeable surface that guarantees natural oxygenation
and watering of the soil.

REPORTREPORT
A brand new layout with clever landscaping and a special-needs friendly pathway .
Context
The Julio Navarro Swimming Club is in the heart of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in the Canary
Islands (Spain). The club has gained a national reputation for its commitment to accommoda-ting people with special needs. The facilities, however, are dated and pathways inadequate to the new needs.
Objective
The main aim of the project is to solve the problems of universal accessibility and mobility of
the clients. The parameters of this project are aligned with the current Spanish legislation with
respect to universal pedestrian accessibility in outdoor areas, which includes, among other items, speciications with respect to steepness, slipperiness, width and elements of support, such as handrails, in the design.
Strategy & Function
The overall strategy is to provide not only a functional solution for people with special needs
but to ofer social inclusion, in a non-segregated space. The project is made up of three components. The irst is a straight staircase that connects the diferent levels. The second is a smooth ramp that gives direct and universal access to the facilities and the solariums.
Form
The third element is a triangular layout that integrates the walks into the surrounding
landscape. The layout is based on Denauay triangulation produced with civil engineering 3D
software allowing thereby to maximise the lesser angles together with the size of each triangle.
Reality & Innovation
Four diferent elements are used in the resulting triangular topography: pavement, drains, vegetation, and contention. The three irst are used in the lat areas and the slight slopes. They serve, respectively as pathways, drainage and tree spots. The fourth, the contention wall, is used in the area of steeper slopes. The wooden handrails and nets complete the project. The
whole layout ofers a 60% permeable surface that guarantees natural oxygenation and watering of the soil.
