The square is located at the
confluence of several streets with different slopes, which generates a surface
with different levels. Originally organized by stairs, pavement is badly
deteriorated and the vegetation has emerged spontaneously with the participation
of some neighbors. The wooded’s surface roots have generated many problems of
flatness on the pavement.

The project tries to respond to the
needs of accessibility caused by the considerable heights differences. In order
to guaranty continuity in the pedestrian path, as well as keeping up the
existing sidewalk café, the area is organized two levels with a height
difference of 40 cm, connected by ramps. At the edges of these slopes are
placed precast concrete benches, separated from the pedestrian area with plant
elements, transplanting existing species and adding new ones, always with the
cooperation and care of the neighbors who take public space as an extension of
their own dwellings.

The
volume that makes up the kiosk, shaped like a cube, aims concentrate the tension
generated by heterogeneous facades that overlook the square.
