The idea that started the project was to enable pedestrians to start or finish their walk wading in the river or at a relaxing viewpoint. The verbal
functions that were required in the competition Lay the foundation stones of a bridge that connects the square with the water. The seating terrace positioned in front of the stage estimated location created the storeroom and restrooms beneath them, and their height built a bridge over the existing road.
The angles of the promenade were taken from an existing grid coming from the historic building. The grid allows to combine the program and the green areas. All of these create a continuous pedestrian traffic with different focal points as well as a noise barrier inside the square that enabling shows and events to be caried out without noise from the road Walking in the project area splits into two options: square level and upper level.
