Bucharest, 2015
Date | 2015 |
Location | Bucharest |
There are few public gardens in the downtown Bucharest. The best known one, the Cismigiu garden, is quite far from the MINR. The restructuring of the MNIR offers the possibility to open to the public the inner courtyard of the building of the former Central Post by transforming it into a new public garden in the middle of the most important pedestrian area of the downtown. For this, we will open several pedestrian access to the garden. From these passages, one may go down by stairs and escalators to the lobby of the museum, located in the underground under the garden, lit by skylights located at the garden level. These square skylights of 3,52x3,52 m are separated by walkways and hedgerows. This glass roof of 25,60x25,60 m, supported by metal beams, form a crystal garden on the ground. It is surrounded by lawns and on both sides of the garden two rows of trees are lining shady paths
