Project Details

"A contemporary mosaic of architecture and landscape that bridges park and hilltop, uniting ancient monuments with modern design in a seamless cultural experience."

Our proposal reimagines the site as a vast, shifting mosaic—its patterns, scale, and colors responding to the functions of each space. This mosaic extends into three dimensions, shaping structures that grow lighter and more open as they rise. A fluid pedestrian bridge links park and hilltop, set delicately apart from the rock and connected by a near-invisible glass walkway. Vegetation from the park ascends along the bridge, forming an ecological corridor with local species. Designed as a unified cultural space, the project connects and celebrates the region’s archaeological monuments, blending contemporary interventions with deep respect for its historical and cultural heritage—where the past and present meet in a seamless, immersive experience.
