2003年马德里议会决定对城市环线M30进行地下部分的扩建，该扩建部分将沿着曼萨纳雷斯河岸绕行8公里。30年前，该环线的建成便割断了城市与曼萨纳雷斯河的联系。随着地下隧道的建成，马德里市中心将向市民展现出全新的公共活动空间。在Eisenman/Field Operations, Herzog & de Meuron, Navarro Baldeweg, Dominique Perrault 和 SANAA，众多优秀设计师参与的项目竞赛中，Madrid Río项目脱颖而出，获得了该竞赛的第一名。

In 2003, Madrid Council decided to build a tunnel for a stretch of the main ring road [M30] around the city, which ran along the banks of the Manzanares River for 8 km. When constructed 30 years ago, this road caused the disappearance of the links between the city and its river, making the river isolated, inaccessible and invisible. As a result of the construction of these tunnels, an enormous space opened up in the heart of Madrid. The Madrid Río (Madrid River) project is the result of winning the First Prize in the international competition which was entered by, among others, Eisenman/Field Operations, Herzog & de Meuron, Navarro Baldeweg, Dominique Perrault and SANAA.

该项目内容包括8公里长的曼萨纳雷斯河岸景观建设，150公顷公园设计、12座跨河大桥、6公顷公共及体育设施、景观小品、艺术中心、休闲长椅、咖啡厅、儿童游乐以及亲水休闲设施。此外，一处880公顷的超大亲水景观总体规划，将水系环境重新融入市民生活之中。

The project includes organizing the 8 km of the banks of the River Manzanares that pass through the city, the design of 150 Ha [370 acres] of parks, 12 bridges and 6 Ha [15 acres] of public and sports facilities, interpretation and art centers, an urban beach, children’s areas and cafés, and the restoration of the hydraulic architectural heritage. In addition, a master plan was drafted for an area of 880 Ha [2,173 acres] which will give a prominent role to public space in the districts closest to the river.

作为与地下隧道向对应的地上工程，绿林种植承担了非常重要的角色。不同于单调的地下交通系统，地上丰富的绿植系统，为居住生活带来了更加生态，更加健康的居住生活环境。其中有超过一半的地面规划项目建造于地下轨道，地下技术设备以及大型城市地下基础设施之上。

On top of this huge “underground construction“ vegetation was used as the main material, constructing a dense and ecologically rich plant structure to create an artificial and urban but living landscape on an inert underground substrate. Almost half of the project’s surface area is on top of the tunnels and the complicated technical facilities associated with these and large urban infrastructures.

隧道建设工程的复杂性，让设计团队拥有充足的机会将水系引入市民生活之中。该项目令市中心与市郊建立了良好的物理联系和战略性联系，而曼萨纳雷斯河作为项目主体，成为实现这一城镇联系的必要载体，并最终创建了城镇与水系的互利共生。

The complex work involved in building road tunnels provided the design team with an unprecedented opportunity to situate the city of Madrid within its surroundings. The project establishes a physical and conceptual continuity, which did not previously exist, between the city center and the valuable countryside that surrounds it, and as a result the Manzanares River has been transformed into the point that connects the city with its geography.

该项目是马德里近几十年间最重要的项目，也是整个欧洲最具野心的项目。这或许是迄今为止第一个将城市大型基础设施，与城市环境和自然环境相结合的城市规划项目。该项目将城市景观，城市建筑和城市基础设施建设相结合，共同创造了一个绿林友好，生物多样性融合以及可持续发展型环境的城市结构。由于项目工程极其复杂，为了解决过程中所遇到的问题，设计师近乎突破了项目可行性界限。该项目由事务所Ginés Garrido领衔4家设计事务所和12个工程师及顾问团队协作完成。设计师除负责马德里河流工程之外，还负责所有建筑及景观规划项目，以及所有牵涉其中的技术工程。

It is the most important project executed in Madrid over the last few decades and probably one of the most ambitious projects carried out in Europe in recent times. This is perhaps the first project following a new approach of integrating large infrastructures and the built fabric of cities with the natural environment that surrounds them, producing a place in which the landscape, the city, the architecture and the urban infrastructures combine to create greater environmental biodiversity and a city that is greener and more habitable and sustainable. The project was highly complex and to solve the issues it was vital to use solutions that almost reached the limit of what is technically possible.The team led by Ginés Garrido was comprised of four architecture offices and a dozen specialist engineers and consultants. It was contracted to construct the Madrid Río project and to be solely responsible for managing all the architecture and landscape architecture designs and all the technical work required to complete the project.
