The site has special importance for the city’s collective memory because various historical events happened there. The intervention aims to create a contemporaneous public space that maintains the site’s genius loci, has spatial cohesion and has a strong ecological aspect.
The concepts of Memory, Time as unifying tissue of historical levels and Urbanity are considered as the main inspiration that gives birth to a new square for urban events. In the center, a void space for gatherings is formed while shaded areas and gardens are located in the site’s borders where the “sculptural” filter of Platanus trees remains as the protagonist. A sculptural wall and trench are proposed as an anti-monument for the world’s victims and a canopy for ephemeral uses.
