Boulevard
CAP Arena | Curitiba

The Boulevard in front of Buenos Aires Street was developed to revitalize the existing circulation and access space. The implementation of this area will create new living and leisure spaces that, together with the future stores in sector 10, will requalify the existing space, transforming the front area of the stadium, which has public/private characteristics, into a friendly and welcoming area. It will also help control heavy traffic, which routinely destroys the sidewalk due to the lack of restrictive elements.

In order to configure the seating areas and allow the flow of crowds in coexistence with the activities of the Boulevard and the complex, the plan was organized into exclusive areas related to the stores where metal gazebos will be installed with tensioned canvas roofs and lighting. To enhance the quality of the space, some urban and landscaping equipment has been designed, such as the installation of flower beds along the entire area where trees will be planted at a height of approximately 15m; stone benches around the perimeter of the flower beds, a stage in the central area for exhibitions and events and a bicycle stand.

The flooring will be installed according to the area and use of the space. A metal floor grid will be installed in the high-traffic circulations, gray drainage-type Tecnogran flooring will be laid in the secondary circulations, and white Tecnogran flooring will be laid in the prime retail areas. The sidewalks will comply with all the definitions of the landscaping project approved by the City Council in due course, and directional and warning podo-tactile flooring will be installed for the visually impaired in accordance with the Standards. The existing curb will be demolished and built to City Hall standards.

Lastly, along the access route to the stores, the installation of a metal grid ceiling, lighting and a metal front finishing profile which, as well as supporting the lighting, will act as an aesthetic finish concealing the Esplanade's PA pipes.
