Each shows a different function for the population. Green Park - for leisure activities, square connected with the new building of cultural centre, and finally, the original old square towards the Danube. Revitalization offers three values added three separate zones with their own functions.

The concept of the new object means the two parts. These functional units are connected by an open square and an underground museum.

The building is the entrance zone to the underground museum also space for temporary installations and rest areas.
