The main goal of this design proposal was to clean up as much surface as possible of its technical, transport function and subsequently turn it into livable, attractive public space. A newly recuperated area surrounded by valuable pre-war architecture gives almost unlimited possibilities of reuse.
The main attraction in the square working as a magnet luring both residents of local districts and people from all over the city is multifunctional community center nicknamed “Loop”. Its name, localization, architecture and the way it functions make a direct reference to the place’s past heritage, marked visibly by the presence of trams and train transportation in general.
An important part of new community center is a system of movable seats using existing rails as a guideways. They can be used depending on current need either as a comfortable bench,a functional counter during flea-market or sort of a platform for artistic expression.
