The transformation from a hulking concrete slab – where its unwelcoming exterior contradicts its purpose of hosting big city events – into a place that invites people to stay, play and mingle every day of the year.

We analyzed how people moved around in the space and used that information to design a functional floor plan. We embraced the square’s existing layering to create a terraced landscape. The scattered green plains enable well-being on many levels and offer inviting places to relax and play. The park softens the harsh edges of the city and creates a positive public space where new development can take shape. Despite this huge transformation, the square can still hold 20,000 people on event days.
