The disappearance of the building frame within dense urban areas is an exceptional opportunity to provide the city with new "urban functions." And if the area is located in a natural heritage setting, it will be a unique opportunity to highlight its singular elements.

To that end, the developed intervention aims to keep as much surface area free from construction as possible, in order to develop an open, transparent and sheltered large public square as an extension of the adjacent square, but adding a new concept of "protected free space" that enables the development of activities that complement those carried out in the surrounding area. The large square opens up the space next to a historical building, which then gains importance and identity.

The square mainly comprises two architectural pieces arranged perpendicular to each other, which define it vertically and horizontally. Both have a key role from a functional and strategic perspective, since they allow the allocation of new uses that regenerate and complement existing ones. However, they attempt to go unnoticed from a formal and dimensional point of view, due to their neutral façades and roofs that act as "background" (almost literally) to the action in order to delimit a singular public space, that is half indoor and half outdoor.
