The goal of the development of the square is to overcome the development trauma and create an adequate center that overcomes multi-layered social, economic and cultural tensions.As a social factor of action on the center of functioning of the urban core, a proposal and an attempt to redefine the community center of urban identity, which is under pressure, is extracted. The opportunity for citizens and visitors to meet art, history and entertainment would be located behind the passage on the ground floor, which would represent a safe door and a kind of portal. Such a passage, together with the metro station at the very bottom, would be a symbol of a renewed relationship with the city and the square.The above-ground building represents an introduction to the contents located below the ground, while the plateau in front of the building’s approach announces a portal into the cultural and entertainment dimension with openings that provide natural lighting to the underground exhibition spaces. Voices, artistic experiences, settings, performances, continuously changing micro-stories, strong characterization of urban space are the features that would adorn the exhibition spaces that alternate at different depths.
