The idea assigns the site a collective place value for a wider urban part, draws a “park with public and private equipment”, an area where geography and orography dictate the conditions of a permeability of the area , knock down the idea of enclosures and constraints. The project identifies the place of the square-park, agora to which the whole neighborhood belongs, in a “soft” central area on the sides, connected to the public road system to its outline that invokes a unit on which the school equipment kindergarten, primary care services and residences. An orographic settlement system that makes constraints a resource for networking, but above all a place to cross to connect parts that are designed to be together. A place that houses an environment of trees and meadows, cycle-pedestrian areas and outdoor sports areas along the level curve paths in the area.
