This project revitalizes three abandoned swimming pools and celebrates the local culture and history, fostering community collaboration. The central pool, with a dynamic movable roof, adapts to diverse needs. Existing structures are preserved and partially rebuilt. A new public square with a grid pattern surrounds the pools, creating a democratic space. The revamped pools and public square form an urban knot, reconnecting the community.
