Taking the general notion of a standard public square as a starting point, we considered how we could create a space of familiarity whilst still dynamic and engaging.
Driven by criteria of a central meeting point, need for seating, shade, and to visually communicate with spaces outside the square,the project evolved into a contorting 12m tree with a slatted canopy surrounded by roots (racine benches that emanate out into different areas.
