This public space is a carefully designed balance of rigid geometries and breakage of those geometries using angles from the bend in the canal. All elements are highly relational bringing the various parts together in a tautly arranged whole.
I think this "excellent" open space can be even better illustrated with a photo of the hustle & bustle of the marketplace, not just the empty "unused" open space ;-)
