At the same time, the design should refer to the Tren&#269;&iacute;n 2026 and its main motto &ndash; Awakening Curiosity.<\/p><p>The design of the new interior of the underpass includes the creation of new digital pannels for the presentation of city events and activities of the Tren&#269;&iacute;n 2026 programme. The artistic intervention can incorporate elements such as light, sound or space, while maintaining sufficient clear width to ensure that the movement of pedestrians, including parents with prams or people in wheelchairs, is not restricted.<\/p><h2>Type of Competition<\/h2><p>Project &ndash; design &amp; build, anonymous, public, combined architectural-artistic, one phase competition.
