Text description provided by the architects. As more and more people are accumulated in big cities, the constantly expanding urban environment, becomes as valuable as the threatened natural environment of the planet and demands the same balanced management. The cities worldwide seek for viable strategies of recreation; seek for balance between the natural and the built, exploiting their natural advantages (sea waterfronts, lakes or rivers, forests around cities and landscapes of natural beauty). The design of the public space of cities, the urban parks and the big voids of the urban fabric, become ideal landscapes for the pursuit of balanced solutions that respect equally the citizen and the environment.
