The site is a left-over space, in front of a mental hospital and between a parking-lot and a highway; to the side is a complex of institutions – a home for the blind, a home for the deaf, a reform school. The program is: to make a park for everybody, both patients/inmates and outsiders, people in general.

The proposal is to make, within the area, a park enclosed in itself: a park that comes, literally, out of the ground, separate from its surroundings. The plot of land is made to pivot, at its center, so that one end is above ground and the other end below. The pivoting plane is divided: a square-like shape, as large as possible, in the middle – in the spaces remaining at either end, a rectangle-like shape, as large as possible. These trapezoids are made to pivot, in different directions from the over-all pivot; each trapezoid is subdivided, a square within a rectangle, a rectangle within a square, until the space is too small for further division; each smaller space pivots, in another direction. Each plane has two entrances, on either end of its axis; the entrance to each successive plane is around corners. From the parking-lot side, the concrete ground is continued in pathways that border each plane on three sides. Cutting across the path is a water-channel that runs downhill, making another obstacle in this maze. As the land slopes down, a strip of concrete rises along the wall to form a bench at the bottom of the slope, a seat for a group of people. Inserted within the walls, culvert pipes are closed with perforated metal covers, and function as lighting; where the pipe is large enough, determined by the height of the wall, the perforated metal is formed into a seat for a person alone or for two or three people close together; some culvert pipes remain open, and can be used as tunnels or slides underground.
