TİYATRONUN YÖNLENDİĞİ MEYDANDA TRAVERTEN TAŞINDAN AÇILI BİR HAVUZ TASARLANMIŞ. AN ANGULAR LIMESTONE POOL WAS DESIGNED IN THE SQUARE, FACıng THE THEATRE. Plaça del Teatre Vaziyet Planı/ Plaça del Teatre Site Plan The square of the theater is a confluence of three streets that has at its center in MiAS’ design a pool that occupies a large portion of this small space. This pool is cut deeply into the surface of the square using an advanced stereotomic geometry of travertine at different levels. Each piece of this travertine construction acts both as a stacking and surface element forming the pool in a series of angular shapes. At the center of this pool is a historic water fountain with an added rust colored iron canal that allows a secondary flow of water into the pool. The angular travertine pool provides a playground for children of all ages from small children splashing in the water to older ones using the surfaces for skateboarding. Benches and seating for a small café bring together adults and children in a common public space. MART - NİSAN 2014 / MARCH - APRIL 2014 • NATURA 109
