The analysis have also highlighted problems and opportunities of the project site, helping us to define our challenge.

Contents 1 Problems: 2 Opportunities: 3 Challenge 4 How:

Problems:

- No relation between site and context

Challenge

Our goal is to create and improve the communication and interaction between the city and the university, involving in an active and participatory way the people of these two systems.

"In our own design work – the ‘context’ is a main centre of effort. It is not exactly a question of ‘fitting- in’, but of re-materialising, re-focusing – the words are difficult. The context may demand a totally invisible building or no building, a ‘countergeometry’ or a ‘continuation geometry’. In a way like decorating, re-arranging and ‘preparing’ a room, for a real homemaker, a real restaurateur or inn-keeper it is more than a question of taste: it is an act of both continuity and re-generation." Peter Smithson

How:

To achieve this goal we want to create a public platform that attract different users and promote the exchange of information, knowledge and experiences; and connect in real time different parts of the city.
