About the project (provided by the applicant)
The concept of the square is based on three triangles that form its structure, modified using subtraction and addition techniques within a polygonal grid. A zigzag in the polygonal grid serves as a transit route across the square, emphasizing building entrances and making them more prominent. The bright color of the zigzag also draws attention to the square and the buildings located on it. Landscaping follows the polygonal grid, incorporating triangles into the layout. The buildings are integrated into the triangular composition, supporting the overall unity of the square. The volumes are shaped similarly to the plan using subtraction and addition techniques within the polygonal grid. Polygonal forms give dynamism to the volumes and underpin the entire concept of the public center. Triangles and polygonal shapes appear in the plan, volumes, and façade solutions, highlighting the coherence of the architectural style and image.
