Flow modulation

Geometric transformation of the square's pavement alters and structurizes the movement of pedestrians. The periodic structure that gave rise to this intervention became differentiated into four functional areas: a fountain, an open space, a place for relax and a meeting point. None of them is decisively defined, rather they exist as a formal diversity, whose properties can be freely interpreted for new uses. Functioning of the square is responsive to the amount of water that fills up the pattern, modelling organisation of the space with both persistent compositions and temporary weather conditions. The flows of water and people become one mutually affective structure.
