... a person approaches it ...











Four giant, 30 feet tall flowers, have been installed as part of the municipality’s effort to improve the urban space. They have been placed in key positions, enabling them to be viewed from all around the square and the nearby market. Each of the flowers also provide a sense of movement to the square, as they bloom by inflating themselves when pedestrians walk by, but when there are no people, they close. When trams arrive, all four flowers open to provide cover for the pedestrians as they step off the tram.
