This project addresses the landscaping of the Piazza Centa Garden in the city of Trento.
The design was inspired by the unexpected discovery, during excavation for an underground parking facility, of an Austro-Hungarian-era stone pool built in 1870. Originally used by military groups, the pool was later decommissioned and filled in.
Therefore, the project reintroduces the Austro-Hungarian pool as a central feature of the garden, maintaining its original dimensions of 45x20 meters to keep the historical reference.
The perimeter of the “pool” is formed by prefabricated concrete modules blended with porphyry aggregate, chosen for its reddish-brown tones that echo Trento’s historic red stone, offering a warmer alternative to standard grey concrete. Then along the edges there are wooden larch benches.
This large perimeter bench also encloses and protects the children’s play area, furnished with new equipment to inspire imagination, social interaction, and inclusivity. The ground is covered with blue shock-absorbing rubber, symbolizing the water that once filled the original pool. Plus, additional play areas for older children include calisthenics equipment, a basketball hoop, and even a ping-pong table.
