So new buildings should carefully attention and treat of it. Then it can be more significant place, not just open space in the city. It should be harmonize with history, present and future.
The car road that located on the south side of site is trace of historical castle wall. Rebuild a border of castle wall along the trace and install pavement made of same material in between. Then car road will be historical road and walls will be background of landscape. It connects history and present. Walls and pavement bring to forgotten memories.
