Theatrum mundi or the theater of the world is an ancient, medieval and baroque metaphor of the world as a theater staged by God and with people in the roles of actors; in essence, it is the idea that human life is like a play written and directed by God, happiness, destiny.
We work with the terrain of the park and lower its center through a gentle slope and a series of four circular terraces with a lawn. This creates an urban amphitheater under the open sky, the theater of life. The amphitheater is intersected by gently sloping trails linking key points along the perimeter of the park with a paved scene inside. The scene level situated 1.8m below the original level of the park. The visitor and the user of the space feel safer and the space gets a human dimension.
We create a clearing surrounded by trees in the middle of the city. We preserve the existing high quality greenery and complement it in the form of a circular belt lining a grassy meadow with an amphitheater in the middle. The place gets more intimacy and clearer, more legible character.
