About
It starts from a study of circulation and local activity, and works on the space between the built city and the natural landscape. The promenade is made of three kinds of path, Explorer, Stroller and Runner, each suited to a different way of using the city. Along the east bund the paths interweave into a single waterfront that follows the river. Five nodes join the disconnected stretches and give each section of the promenade new places to stop and walk.
