The main focal point of our submission is the hill in the center of the park, near the lake. It sits at the intersection of tracks in the park. The hill is inspired by the many volcanic mountains and hills of your beautiful country. The sides of the hills are composed of zones that change with height, they are intended to mimic the vegetation of the mountains that inspired its creation. At the top of the hill is a pavillion with two floors and a terrace on the top. The two floors shall host exhibits ranging from historic presentations of the city and nation, to exhibits of flora and fauna and art exhibits. The terrace will offer the best views of the city, lake and park, and will host a caffe on it as well. Radially from the main hill we situated the other zones, the thinkers zone will have a couple of pavillions, maybe a caffe, and outdoor chess sets, it will be situated near the Freedom Corner. On the other side of the hill we planned an area for picknickers, as the hill will provide additional shade to this area and it will be cool and pleasant, ideal for relaxing. On the eastern side, acrros the stree from the Parliament building we envision two open libraries that will be incorporated with the cycling track.
On the eastern part of the lake is another hill, a smaller one, which is also zoned, on the east side of this hill, facing the parliament is a caffe that is partially dug into this hill. On the other side of this hill is the hammock zone, which will be shaded by the hill and an alley of higher trees. It will consist of two main zones with a small break-zone between them, with sculptures or floral arrangements.
The Cycling road starts on the northern half of the Processional Way and gradually increases in height, goes above the hills slope, then descends and raises above again, passes over the two open libraries (One of the pillars holding the road will be used as a large circular bookshelf) and then descends again, and ends near the long open seating area, and stretches back to the Processional Way, ending it's circular route.
We also envision the use of solar panels on all of the buildings and even parts of the cycling road, as well as phone/laptop charging stations that use solar power
We hope you like our ideas and enjoy the video.
