"Friedo's Dream"
Establishing meeting spaces for different social groups
The concept aims at improving the use of the planning area as an active community square. Reorganizing and defining the site into different areas (and levels) enables the implementation of meeting spaces for different kinds of user groups. A water fountain will encourage further play activities. In order to save community budget, it is recommended to use local materials or to reuse existing materials wherever possible.
Resposibilities: Spatial analysis, landscape plan, vegetation plan, illustrations, details, cost estimation
