Due ricerche hanno permesso di riaprire il dibattito sul futuro del Circular Park di Yerevan, previsto dal Piano Tamanyan della capitale armena fin dal 1924. La sperimentazione metaprogettuale ha affrontato due sfide: la prima riguarda il superamento della logica d’intervento per oggetti edilizi o infrastrutturali isolati, ristabilendo connessioni verticali, oblique e orizzontali tra acqua, verde e suolo; la seconda mira a riorientare il Circular Park verso l’idea originaria di bene comune per soddisfare le esigenze di una città in continua evoluzione. Ponendo l’attenzione sugli spazi pubblici e sul loro rapporto con le risorse essenziali per la vita, lo studio individua la risorsa acqua non come materiale del progetto, ma come agente di riconnessione che agisce in simbiosi con suolo, microclima, sottosuolo e edifici, con valore regolativo fra società, città e dinamiche socioeconomiche.
