架构师提供的文本描述。这座广场建在潘普拉附近最后一个大型公共空间，靠近圣弗朗西斯教堂(St.FrancisChurch)，这座教堂是尼迈耶湖周围的建筑之一。

Text description provided by the architects. The Square was built at the last large public space in the surroundings of Pampulha, close to St. Francis Church, one of Niemeyer buildings around the lake. 

 Floor Plan

该项目重新设计了地形，创造了轻微倾斜的绿色表面，改善了自然排水，定义了永久性区域-等级、长椅、平台-以及覆盖设施-公共厕所和酒吧-改善了广场的开放公共特性。

The project redesign topography creating slightly sloping green surfaces that improve natural drainage, define permanence areas – grades, benches, platforms – and cover facilities – public toilets and bar – improving the open public character of the square.

该设计注定要进行大规模的活动，在靠近湖面的地方定义了一个大型的干燥的公园，同时增加了另一个方向的绿色存在，为邻里的使用定义了一个更田园式的亲密尺度。用于照明的垂直图腾解放了游乐园。

Destined to large scale events, the design defined a large dry esplanade closer to the lake, while increasing the green presence in the other direction, defining otherwise a more bucolic intimate scale for the neighborhood use. Vertical totems for lighting liberate the esplanade.

面积大，以低预算为导向，严格选择低成本、低耐久的材料：传统的砖块在人行道和垂直构件中；混凝土用于图腾；碎石和草用于透水表面。

The huge area associated to a low budget oriented a strict choice of low cost and resistant materials: the traditional brick in pavements and vertical elements; concrete for totems; crushed stone and grass for the permeable surfaces.
