The project makes good use of the confines of an old quarry to create a vast semicircular plaza mainly intended for leisure activities, with its visual itineraries enhanced by three large sculptures: in the entrance driveway (Ellsworth Kelly), on the water (Eduardo Chilli da), and at the summit (Roy Lichtenstein). The shady part of the hill is proposed as a zone for replanting trees, with the paths crossing it regularly giving way to picnic and play areas.
