The first part concerned Piazza d'Armi, the city former main square, which, mrougout the ages, has become neglected and lost it's representative character. The idea was to restore it's prior importance and add new function to this space. Before we plunged into the subject, we came up with a few sketches featuring the area of our concern. Furthermore, we prepared detailed analyses of particular layers of the town structure. We examined greenery, communication and building structure. After coming to a conclusion that the whole site is too large for the city needs, we decided to divide it into several areas. The zones that emerged were: Garden Zone, Green Zone and Theater Zone. There was a secluded part of Piazza located behind the Garden Palace. We agreed that it is a nice space to create a kind of a city garden, as it would continue the greenery in the southern bastion. Later on, we thought that it could also serve as an exposition field for the art collection, a kind of a backyard for the museum inside the Palace. Therefore came the idea of connecting this two function and creating Garden Zone. This area was divided into three parts. The first one, directly behind the museum, consists of several green squares, pedestrian paths and small architecture. The second one, farther to the south, comprise a greenery maze in which some pieces of art could be exhibited to the public. The last one, situated to the west, behind the garden wall, served as a parking place for tourist and school buses. We decided to leave this function, but organize it in a proper way. We add a greenery space, a small shop and a bus stop equipped with toilets. Furthermore, the old building on the other side of Via Giulia Gonzaga, adjacent to the city walls, has been transformed into a restaurant. There was a lot of greenery in front of the primary school, in the western part of Piazza. That is why we decided to leave most of it, but arrange it in a modern way. In the Green Zone exists an exhibition space with a few large spheres on which pupils can hang their works and show them to everyone. There is also a Water Point, located at the corner of Via Gonzaga and Via Giulia Gonzaga, from which drinking water had been drawn centuries ago. We wanted to expose it a great deal, so decided to bring water to the Piazza in this particular zone. Therefore we created a park with paths and benches surrounding a small pond. The last area of our concern was the Theater Zone, situated alongside a large gallery called Corridor of the Ancients. The name of this area appeared after a group of students working on the Corridor proposed to situate an open theater before the gallery. Consequently the whole zone has been subordinated to the idea of the theater. There was a part of terrain that we have to lower in order to obtain a kind of stairs and seats for the audience as well as the stage. Moreover, we created a greenery complex, including an underground building supporting the theater and some water reservoirs, as a continuation of the water axis initiated in Green Zone. Our last decision concerned the Crown of Pallas Athena monument, which, in our conception, should return to it's original place and be situated on the Via Dondi's street axis. The central point of the composition became the arcade, next to the Garden Palace, which serves as a gate to the main part of Piazza d'Armi. It is a junction connecting all three zones and is signified by a huge rotated square-shaped pedestrian space. There is a small cafe within this area as well as an Info Box, a cubic structure where people can acquire city plans, collect data and get all kinds of information concerning current city events.
