SECOND FLOOR PLAN ---
The second level has a much more fixed and permanent set of programs and function. It also provides insulated indoor spaces, essential for winter season and rainy and windy days. The orientation and layout of the programs creates a set of interesting spaces that overlooks the activities below, achieving a form of vertical connection.
The goals of the selected programs are to:
1. Foster a sense of community among the population
2. Encourage physical activities among the younger population, as opposed to spending free time indoors and on computers
3. Promote creativity by providing space to exhibit and showcase works of kids, students and local artists

Lightweight materials (mesh net and perforated metal) are used throughout the site to ensure that the ground floor receives natural sunlight and ventilation. Colorful floor slabs and railings are also used on the second floor playground to reflect the function.
40
Shaded seatings (under green roof) are provided throught the second floor to create a casual social space that overlooks the ground floor and surrounding activities
41
Activities throughout the whole site are designed to feel very lightweight and open (even enclosed spaces) to provide a sense of freedom and being a part of nature. It also prevents view obstructions from surrounding residential buildings.

Certain materials used are depicted above to highlight the properties of the material and the function of the space. In the case of the cobblestone, it is chosen as the material for the ground level promenade to reflect the characteristic of the old town Sarajevo.
