Piazza Della Repubblica

When walking around Milan I walked through the Piazza Della Repubblica. This was a park area which was cut through by a main road. Although this is a really busy area of Milan it was a really gorgeous small park area which provided a break from the huge building that surround it. Due to the amount of tall vegetation and sculptures, it shields a lot of the viewpoints of the tall buildings. This causes the area to feel secluded and not part of the urban environment.
Urban park areas like this are really something I feel is missing in the cityscape within the UK as usually, you will have to leave the city to be able to see this much vegetation.

Therefore I believe within the st aidens design the base of it will be a lily as they have 6-7 petals.

Final zoning Diagram

I have sectioned each area around a central point, which will be a meeting point for users. The site will have many nods to butterflies, which is my concept. The play areas will be really colourful and hopefully give some more character to the site.
