Current situation.Projected land borders with the two most important city forming elements: on the west by dense urban development on the east by a public park. Taking into account the current situation of urban planning, the proposed design solution acts as a "zipper" brings together two of the urban environments.Compositional study.Through the area of the Three Crosses two axes are accented, which are major elements of the historical fabric of the city: the axis Bracka - Mokatowska and the axis of Nowy Swiat - Aleje Ujazdowskie. The project involves construction of a road with two lanes in each directions (band width 3.5 m) from east of the Church of Alexandria, as the decision was organically combines street Nowy Swiat with Aleje Ujazdowskie, forming an axial continuation of the King's Road.Axis Bracka - Mokatowska, passing through the area, the project is designated as a pedestrian and bicycle paths.Functional zoning of the area.In the north and east is expected to maintain the existing sidewalk cafes. In the first stage of construction is expected to retain the existing one-story building of public toilets. There is a place for cafes in the east from the parking space. In the southeast, a quiet place for relaxing. Along the axis Bracka - Mokatowska placed benches. Also the place of rest is organized around the Three Crosses monument overlooking the church. East from the parking bicycles organized holiday destination - it is surrounded by greenery existing concrete fence height 45 cm, which is also a bench.Сonstruction stages.Stage 1 - construction includes the organization of the roadway, landscaping, laying of granite stone and lighting.Stage 2 - involves the construction of the organization, two levels of underground parking for 355 vehicles entering from the street Zurawia. Applicable surface area makes it easy to dismantle the bricks and after construction to restore it to its original place. Construction of the underground space is possible without limitation of traffic. There will be two vertical communications for accessing the underground parking, one in the north other in the south west. South Western communication implies merge with a stop of public transport in a single node.As a prospective scenario, we suggest that at -1 level to organize the public space with shops, cafes, exhibition space, which after the construction of the subway station will form a single communicative unit.Stage 3 – involves the construction of the subway station and connect it with the public space -1 level.
