Koncept.
The square with a significant difference in height between the opposite street fronts lost the integrity of the space in the 1950s. Today, the dominant feature of the square is mostly parked cars in the middle of the square.
The main objective of the proposal is to restore the interconnection of the street fronts, homogenising the public space and promoting the commercial parterres of the houses. And also to put people before cars. The fundamental change is therefore the traffic solution within the square. The height difference between the two opposite street fronts will be solved by means of a levelling terrain staircase that will smoothly "sublimate" into the terrain. The staircase creates two levels, but they are interconnected – passable throughout the square.
