The proposal aims to express the city’s essence as a living mosaic, woven between water, cultures, and people. Fluid and intimate spaces shape a specific atmosphere of gradual discovery, where everyone can find a personal place. The strong identity of the central area is thus reinterpreted through an open, welcoming, and adaptable public space, organically connected to the Danube and to Tulcea’s multicultural spirit.
This concept unfolds and becomes tangible in the three main public spaces. Mircea cel Bătrân Square, as the civic heart, is reimagined as an open and active urban forum, a place for gathering, events, and civic life, emphasizing openness and community belonging. Unirii Street acts as a connecting spine, weaving together the civic square and the Danube waterfront through a sequence of fluid, shaded, and lively spaces that encourage movement, encounters, and gradual transitions. Finally, the Trei Fântâni Area represents the symbolic opening to the water, a green and contemplative area that reinforces the connection with the river, offering intimate corners, panoramic views, and immersive natural atmospheres.
