2. UNION
“The urban solution is developed on the basis of connections – directions with other natural elements of the river valleys. The projected objects: towers, shows, recreation places and activities are oriented in the direction of the Swiss Erosion Trap, the Immediate Erosion Hill, the Sapiegine Erosion Trap, the Geomorphological Reserve of the Plain, the Hill of Three Crosses, the Hill of Gediminas, the Hill of Taurus and Viršuliškės. One of the most important architectural elements is the restoration of the narrow gauge railway, which was installed here to transport ammunition in the bunkers ”, the proposals for the competitive work are presented.
Naturally, the plot is functionally divided into three areas: the lower terrace, the slopes and the upper terrace. The lower terrace, the entrances to the bunker and the meadow provide communal and cognitive-historical functions. There is a quiet area on the slopes with a natural-cognitive function. Active functions are designed on the upper terrace.
The upper deck offers a tower, a view, sports fields, a playground, a specialized dog play area, as well as a bridge. In the northern part, a mountain bike path and a recreation and exercise area have been designed.
