"As the park undergoes a conflictual relationship between uses, the project takes advantage of its history of accumulation by scrutinising existing potentialities. The reclamation of underused spaces reconfigures spatial relationships between park and city. Underground facilities become the trigger of a newfound spatial cohesion. The park fully acts as an open platform, a civic infrastructure."
