The intervention acts as an open-air exhibition of urban objects, collected from all around the world, running along an already ethnically diverse neighbourhood. The site is divided in three zones, green, black and red, which act as a background to the placed objects and furniture. The proposal responds to the infrastructural needs of the area, providing at the same time an increase of green spaces.
But let's take a look at the black square: Topotek 1 manage to convert asphalt -the no.1 urban material- into a flowing landscape creating various relationships between the body of the visitor and the ground. The painted curves manage to give different identities to the sub-areas of the intervention site, as well as to promote a variety of speeds, depending on the width of the created paths. The pattern of the lines that run from south to north highlights the placed objects, curving around them, instead of acting as an independent platform, which lies underneath the intervention elements.
