Project Description: - this project was a very significant urban park that had been completely excavated in the creating of the new metro in the city. The urban park then initially included an underground shopping center and an urban park at street level: We provided two proposals, one of which I helped develop, but which was rejected as too costly. Later on a simplified compromise version was accepted.
