Appreciation towards ENOTA for providing the following description:

Podčetrtek交通岛位于城市体育场群区域，附近有一个露天运动场，一个带泳池的水疗中心，一个酒店。该交通岛的规划旨在缓解该地区繁忙的交通，同时中央环岛被期望成为一个区域入口标示。

环岛上大块的混凝土象征了遍布在周围的体育场馆。这些以不规则趋势排列的混凝土块仿佛从地下长出，有着深深的根系，他们往天上冒，导致地面膨胀，那些裂缝使得地层里面的水喷出，形成喷泉。这个喷泉的造型也与附近的水疗中心呼应。

The Podčetrtek Traffic Circle is built on a regional road located between the municipal sports hall with open-air sports grounds on one side and a spa centre with numerous swimming pools and hotels on the other side. It is primarily intended to slow down the traffic in this consequently very busy area as the main accesses to both complexes also connect to the traffic circle. The design of the roundabout’s central island thus references the appearance of both facilities and marks the entrance points to the destinations of the visitors to either of the programme centers.

The large, dark concrete blocks allude to the design the monolithic volume of the sports hall. The play of light on the irregular arrangement of the elements forms a composition of surfaces, which corresponds to the expression of the hall’s folded volume. The layout of the inner part of the roundabout as a whole suggests a tectonic shift somewhere beneath the Earth’s surface having caused the road surface to bloat and belched out the massive blocks. In combination with the water, which sporadically rises to the surface between the clefts, it is somewhat reminiscent of geyser-strewn basalt strata, its appearance thus also evoking the spa complex.
