Project Description

Flexbrick is a flexible paving system that consists of a steel mesh filled with ceramic pieces of different shapes, colors, and sizes. This system allows for the creation of continuous, adaptable, and permeable surfaces that integrate with the environment and offer great resistance and durability.

Parque Günter is a public space located in the municipality of Telde, on the island of Gran Canaria. The park was inaugurated in 2019 and has an area of 12,000 square meters, divided into four thematic areas: the culture square, the water square, the sports square, and the leisure square.

The goal was to create a surface that could absorb excess water, prevent puddling, and facilitate drainage, while also being aesthetic and safe for users.

The steel mesh was fixed to the ground using anchors and filled with ceramic pieces, leaving gaps between them to allow water to pass through. The result is a flexible pavement that adapts to the irregularities of the terrain and temperature changes and offers great resistance to wear and impact.

The use of Flexbrick in the pavement of Parque Günter has provided an innovative, sustainable, and functional solution that has contributed to improving the quality of public space and creating a pleasant and playful environment for visitors.
