Memory
To utilize the given space for a new intervention seeking the relationship with the river.
Given intervention is based on the decompression of the violent vibrations flowing from our metropolis.
How to intervene a site traversed by such lines of force?
Four basic decisions:
. The pedestrian reconnection of the city with the site.
. The generation of topography which shall sustain the park on a metropolitan scale.
. The concentration of new and existing buildings combining uses and program according to density and signification of the area (leisure, recreation, education).
. "Establish a Punctum (Roland Barthes) maximized in bicentennial identity which shall be established between knowledge of the past and the future guidelines: Rotation in temporary space."
