| Summary: | [EN] The river Turia leaves an indelible mark on the city of Valencia because of the importance that it has had on the spatial shape of the city and on its historical passing of time. This is reflected in the riverbed deep transformation, moving from being a natural space to a big urban garden and reshaping Valencia’s image. This is a process in which the Sculpture is involved as a unique contribution. The research work, named The public sculpture in the renovation process of the Turia’s old riverbed in Valencia, 1973\2014 does an inventory and catalogues sculptures which are located in this space. The principal task is tackling a study of the sculptural action plan, adopted in the course of the old riverbed landscaping, as well as the interventions’ management, taking into account their environment and their historical development. The exhaustive analysis of the information collected and contextualized with its historical happening will allow us to build a story of every sculpture which is part of the old riverbed’s story. The sculptural action plans carried out can be classified into three types: outside the official plans; sculptural action inside the official plans, and sculptural actions included in landscaping design. The results obtained confirm that there is no joint space project, and this finishes with a dissemination sculptures along the way. This is not a result of any plan but improvisation that has led it to a progressive lack of concern over time and this damages seriously the state of the sculptures and their exhibition. The research aims to assess the results obtained from the current circumstance of sculpture in this specific place and it will help us to introduce a reflection about the future sense of the public sculpture in urban areas, particularly in the city of Valencia. |
