ArchDaily speaks with Edgar Mazo and Erica Martinez from Connatural Arquitectura en el Paisaje to discuss their winning project: Parque Prado in Colombia.
As the recipient of the Category 5 Award (Access to Green and Public Space / SDG 11.7) of the 2026 Edition of the UIA 2030 Award, Parque Prado stands out for its highly integrated approach to water management, ecological restoration, and community public space. The project serves as a powerful contribution to resilient, inclusive urban regeneration, showing how architecture can breathe new life into existing urban fabrics.
According to the international jury, the project’s ultimate value lies in its role as a replicable model. By prioritizing a resource-conscious approach—reusing materials and adapting existing structures—and integrating diverse spatial typologies, Connatural has created a park that actively fosters inclusion and builds social cohesion within the community.
