The proposal includes:

- new mixed-use tower building, including residential, co-working, and public services spaces
- renovated the existing forum building with preserved facade and the interior rebuilt for modern communal use, including a theatre space
- car parking hid underground (more greenery and plazas!)
- pedestrian and cycling promenade, the "spine" of the area

 

A peek behind the curtain: drawings from the architect Luca Racioppo. Left to right: 1. the renewed Forum Building, 2. facade of the new mixed-use tower building details 3. new tower building facade and shape. All drawings © Luca Racioppo, Chapman Taylor.
