Lise Meitner Square

Beatriz Ramo

Lise Meitner Square transforms a space that was never meant to exist into a 2,600m² public realm reclaimed from the safety zone of two 1,500-m geothermal wells. Turning constraint into opportunity, the design highlights the infrastructure with an orange ring and three ground graphics, making renewable energy legible to all. Paths and flexible zones structure movement and use, illustrating how technical installations can become shared civic space.

Lise Meitner Square transforms a fenced geothermal safety zone into a 2,600m² public space that was never meant to exist. Through negotiation and design ingenuity, constraint becomes civic asset: the design highlights the infrastructure with an orange ring, ground markings add orientation and poetry, and paths and flexible zones invite everyday use. By making infrastructure visible, the square shows how hidden systems can shape inclusive urban life.
