The park organizes itself through the layered systems of point, line, and surface. Each layer generates a series of “calculated tensions” that reinforce the dynamic nature of the project.179 These layers are not necessarily mutually exclusive from one another but act interdependently in order to create functionality of space as well. Tschumi evaluates the “principle of heterogeneity” that enables the relationship
between multiple, dissociated and confrontational elements to disrupt the smooth rationalization that a seemingly tedious composition entails. The lack of composition enables the Subject to prescribe their own itinerary solely based on their continuously altering projected promenade.
