Description
Arcade is a public space between the two blocks of the White Gardens business center, which is located in the well-known White District business district. The glass-roofed space of the Arcade contains restaurants, cafes, and bars. During the warm months of the year visitors may sit out on open verandahs and listen to concerts. Arcade has a floor area of more than 800 square meters and is intended as a place where both people working at the business center and the general public may come to relax.
The INTER SPACE: WHITE GARDENS ARCADE competition is for architecture, structural engineering, and design firms and firms specializing in urban design and territorial development, as well as for individual architects and designers with a degree in architecture or design and with experience of working on real projects.
