The commission proposes the need to bring together in a given area a wide variety of programs. Housing, services, parks and connective infrastructures are the components that summarize this project. The project aims to be a large public space with services and infrastructure for the residents, for the neighborhood and for the city, which articulates all programs. A "bus garage and terminal" is located underneath the park, as well as in the basement. The park occupies the entire extension of this infrastructural basement and is developed on a higher level compared to the public road. The volume of housing and social facilities is located between the park and the neighborhood. The circulatory axis connects all levels of the project.
