HEIM DOMOKOS PLAZA – COMPETITION / ARAD / ROMANIA
[en] The main concept of remodeling the urban space is looking to reestablish equilibrium between the inhabitants of the area and the automobile circulation on site. The primary objective is that the population regains its rights to use the surrounding urban space and to reconfigure it in order to allow the people to have a maximized accessibility and use upon it.
The Heim Domokos square is redefined as a harmonious urban space that comprises seating areas, green areas that integrate the existing high vegetation and playing areas. The technical constructions that exist on site will be covered by a masking layer, and the perimeter circulation is organized according to different intensities. The parkings of the site are reconfigured within the whole urban design, and the parkings along the central area are positioned on a tilted and partially sunken surface that generates a parapet towards the green area, that supports seating areas.
[ro] Conceptul principal de remodelare a spatiului urban cauta stabilirea unui echilibru intre locuitorii zonei si circulatia auto pe sit. Scopul primar este de a reda populatiei tesutul urban si de a-l reconfigura pentru a permite locuitorilor o utilizare si accesibilitate maxima.
Piata Heim Domokos se redefineste ca un spatiu urban echilibrat ce cuprinde zone de stat, zone verzi care integreaza vegetatia inalta existenta si locuri de joaca. Constructiile tehnice existente pe sit se mascheaza, iar circulatia perimetrala este ordonata pe diferite intensitati. Parcarile se redefinesc in cadrul ansamblului, iar cele de pe conturul zonei centrale sunt amplasate pe un plan inclinat si partial scufundat care genereaza un parapet catre zona verde ce contine locuri de stat.
