| The technology park would sit in areas of native Mediterranean vegetation to integrate into the landscape and to influence the microclimate for public use. These species tolerate high temperature and water scarcity. A good layer of soil and water and rainwater viaducts will provide the foundation for the park. A parametric array of solar panels organizes the pathways and provides shade and energy for the growth of the park. We will use creepers typical of Mediterranean vegetation: traveller’s joy (Clematis vitalba), honeysuckle (Lonicera implexa), common smilax (Smilax aspera), some varieties of grapevine (Vitis vinifera). The various technologies would be determined by the tenants of the park who would grow the park through their research. The trailers and basic infrastructure is difficult to ascertain, but we imagine a first phase of development would be to develop a model lot from which the park’s economics can be tested. |
