Eco-Boulevard, Sustainable architectural structure in Ensanche de Vallecas, Spain

The Eco-Boulevard features three cylindrical pavilions equipped with solar panels and evaporative cooling systems along a pedestrian-friendly boulevard spanning 25,500 square meters.

Ecosistema Urbano completed this architectural project in 2007 to address the lack of social activity in the suburban development of Vallecas.

The pavilions function as gathering spaces where residents participate in creating environmental modifications within structures powered by renewable energy.

These innovative structures maintain temperatures approximately 10 degrees Celsius lower than surrounding areas through passive air-conditioning and wind-catching systems.

The temporary nature of the air trees allows for their dismantling once natural vegetation matures, transforming the spaces into open urban areas.

Location: Ensanche de Vallecas
