"The center of the world" was the inspiration of our project proposal.
The center "symbolic" is obtained from the intersection of the eight main directions on which develops the surrounding geometry. It consists of a series of paths, four of which are characterized by '"water" and the remaining from the "ground", two of the basic elements of the life cycle. The wide open spaces, and the "heat generator" element timely prominently placed in the center, respectively define the elements of "air" and "fire."
From the original form of the existing plaza, it was possible to obtain, by means of geometric constructions, the figure that could best represent the idea: the octagon. A series of concentric octagons enrolled defines the ideological journey that every man must do to reach the ultimate goal: knowledge.
Octagons, defined with a different flooring, define the areas functionally distinct from those outside leisure and entertainment,
and a refreshment kiosk, move to those of social and cultural interaction, and finally to those that allow meditation and introspection.
