Bridges that are filled in the urban structure remains close to its inhabitants, being seen, but not visited – for there is not a single reason why should they. The remote place – offering literally nothing – is not the one that you cross by on your way with daily routines. Therefore it is essential that the area itself became a destination of choice, the one that is planned to see and reach. It is possible, through fulfilling it with alternatives to be done, which will prove to be attractive for people. Here immediately occurs the problem of fitting the solution to everybody’s needs.

Speaking about people it is knowingly hard to define universal solutions that will guarantee the popularity of newly created space. Having an awareness of things mentioned above we decided to open the place functionally for as much groups of people as it was possible. The aim was to give almost every inhabitant from local neighbourhood – but not only them – a reason, pretext to get there. We tried to get in touch with different age groups in order to integrate them around one place – give the people of all age the feeling of belonging and affiliation. We attempted to combine one area for those, who are interested in culture and co-create it, with those who prefer sport and outdoor activities. Physical closeness of them – using the same space, meeting each other – will presumably result with increased contact between members of different groups. It will also present to some of them the idea of different activities to be done; possibly interest them with new hobbies to explore.

The key element in our proposal is marketplace, for we believe that always, where there are people, there is trade. Trade of goods, trade of knowledge, trade as a way of spending free time, meeting people, the heart of human life – widely understood exchange.
