Подпись: Extensive Peri urban agriculture Articulating the boundary between built and cultivated environments Marking pedestrian and cycle routes Making space with shade Market stallA main road bounds this extensive site to one side with pedestrian and cycle paths on its other sides. A wall three meters high separates the organoponico from the University of Cienfuegos campus and defines two territories representing, an urban condition and a rural condition. The wall shades a cycle path.

The upper floors of adjacent buildings overlook the wall, thus making a visual connection between elevated interiors and the rural condition represented by the urban agriculture.
