THE CITIZEN’S REFUGE
Provocative project of Parade square in Warsaw
游行广场,虽然它实际上是对周围开放的,但实际上生活在一个孤立的条件下,封闭在其区域内,并被建筑物的屏障所包围。人们对它的态度就像一座曾经意义重大的纪念碑一样冷漠,但现在它太老了,无法适应新时代。这就是为什么新的城市规划将游行广场融入到城市的最新形象中,完全忽略了它对华沙意味着什么,并可以继续代表。
Parade Square,even though it is actually open towards the surrounding, in reality lives in a condition of isolation, confined in its area and surrounded by a barrier of buildings. It is treated with the same indifference of a monument that once was significant, but now it is too old to adapt to the new times.This is why the new urban plan of the area incorporates Parade Square into the newest image of a city, completely ignoring what it has meant for Warsaw, and can continue to represent.

But what are we, if we do not respect our history?
因此,在这个项目中,并没有找到一个替代方案来强制广场和城市之间的融合,而这显然不仅仅取决于对广场的研究,而是决定强调他的孤立,把它变成一个力量点。
For this, instead of finding an alternative solution on how to force integration between the square and the city, which evidently doesn’t depend only from the study of the square, with this project, it was decided to emphasize his isolation, turning it into a point of strength.

The square is then transformed into an included area,inside the archetype of the wall, which maintains and emphasizes its monumentality and its functions,and creates situations that were not present in this urban area,remarking the importance that has to preserve the past, in future cities.

In this area you must feel protected,close to the heart of Warsaw,free to express yourself, to receive knowledge of the institutions within it, and also do party, if necessary, without feeling the hustle and the anxiety of modern speed .

Inside the walls it then creates a refuge/park that highlight the relationship and the importance of the square and its buildings acquiring a sort of untouchability, but that can also be used for exhibitions, concerts,expo pavilions. The city that adapts to the needs of the citizen,not the citizen that adapts the needs of the city.
