ASC & AWP

Fusing spaces:

Transform without destroying: Minimize intervention to the strictly necessary, recognizing the identity of the place and re-shaping it to preserve and enlarge the duality of uses.Add and cut: Break the present hardness by fusing existing structures, such as green and mineral. Add enriching elements, such as a playful ground fountain (with low maintenance requirements) and carved lettering on pavement slabs which recall its history.

Outcome: Maintain the magnificent ancient trees and transplant some of the younger trees, create a fluid, permeable public space with mineral paving and a variety of vegetal strips to form an urban self-sustained space where the first glimpse is a park.
