a garden

the old city center of sibiu used to be, until recently, a big garden. many say that its restoration would mean restoring the garden. however, the positioning of the sculpture ensemble “a garden” in the new city center allows us to conclude that the historical center stands the chance of becoming, in a fortunate future, the garden of the new center.

in the process of reorganizing the urban space of sibiu, we find ourselves in the middle of events, in the heart of a garden, of a public park – with the seeds placed here by the sculptor liviu mocan.

the architects’ hope - and mine personally, as chief-architect of the city, is that these grains would bring forth the reviving of the city, in a renewed city center.

we hope that the atmosphere of these events, together with this motto of the seed element will echo like the garden of a church, like the garden of a new future.
