The cities’ dense areas are full of unnoticed urban voids: one example is the many core of blocks that unfortunately go without any use. This block (pictured) in downtown BH is an example of how easy it would be to convert emptiness into a square. In it they planted some trees that seek to survive, but with little additional investment this terrace will become an unprecedented leisure area that would balance the aridity and lack of public spaces of the Center.

Protected by twenty-story buildings, it is not difficult to imagine here a living area or a terrace bar surrounded by an urban setting that, if it seems melancholy and decadent, is also very promising.
