The competition area has the typical characteristics of the Padano-Veneto territory: it is on the border between a suburban residential area and the open, flat countryside opening to the west to the Euganean hills in the background. This suggestion of border, of "diaphragm" of the territory is the starting point of the project. The goal of the project proposal is a transition building between the end of the city and the beginning of the countryside, which is both visible and iconic as a building dedicated to spectacle but also integrated into the agricultural landscape with the new park: a “camera obscura” which connects the fiction of performance with the reality of territory.
