We began our work in Sabbioneta from recognition of the field of our concern. The terrain, that we have chosen, was a large open space, situated in the south - western part f the city. Historically, this area was occupied by XV-century monastery building. Unfortunately, not much of it was left for our times, as Napoleon's army destroyed monastery and the castle. Nowadays, this area is covered only with farmlands and green areas. We came up with two main aims, which can or should this terrain serve. First concerned reconstructing or suggesting a new shape of the historical buildings. The second aim was to create some space, which can animate the city and give local society a new impulse for activation. Therefore our work wasn't so simple. Besides those fundamental aims, there were many restrictions connected with preserving the character of the space. First and most important restriction was the historical value of the city landscape. We knew we should create something spectacular, which will harmoniously cooperate with the renaissance tissue. We were aware that we ought to protect the original landscape from devastation. Great responsibility was in our hands. If inhabitants want to develop the city space, only our project will give them a serious chance to do that. Because of that, we did everything to present them an interesting and realistic conception of development this area. Finally, we knew there are other work groups and other ideas. Our ambition was, that the whole projects should present holistic conception of the revival of the city. We designed a new pathway, perpendicular to and starting from Via Vespasiano Gon-zaga. This footpath led to a part of the southern walls and separated the school space on the left from the designed labyrinth on the right. For the purpose of setting apart the public area from the school field, we introduced a shallow water reservoir to the space. That way, we gained a kind of buffer area. The shape of the water reservoirs mirrored the old castle walls. On the end of the pathway we placed a perpendicular greenery ramp, which leads to the level of bastion and the walls. Under the ramp, within the scarp, we proposed a gallery. It uses natural landscape and merges interesting appearance with practical function. The labyrinth, placed on the right side of the path, doesn't have a single entrance but because it's wall was cut into segments, it seems open for the pathway. It makes an impression of inviting. We divided the maze into four courtyards that imitated the shape of the old monastery. Each courtyard could serve as an exhibition field for different kinds of presentation of art and multimedia installations. We thought of installing movable panels in the western part of the largest courtyard, which would become a space for mass open-space events. The slope adjacent to the wall, farther to the west, stood as natural tribune for the audience. There are many ways leading into labyrinth, but only one that leads out of it. The maze ends with a long underground tunnel, leading on the top of the bastion. People coming out from the dusky tunnel see a gushes of water coming upward from the fountain and, when they reach the top, an amazing panorama of the city. We created also a pavilion, located at the corner of the bastion. Part of this pavilion hangs out of the walls. It functions as a cafe and a viewpoint. Another important issue was the exposition of the system of the old defensive walls. The challenge was how to use and expose this well-kept fortifications in an interesting way. Therefore appeared an idea of connecting whole six bastions with a path on the walls, which could rim the historical city. The next concept was to band all bastions using six highlighted columns of water. In the future, spectacles could be enriched with music and color illumination, visible from the city center with a full splendor. Consequently, we fulfilled the idea of a theatrical city, which was the idea of the all project groups.
