Ribbon of light
The water terraces could be drained to allow live events in the square in a mini amphitheatre.
Lights placed above the city's tram lines would create a "ribbon" of light" effect in the winning design.
A stream run is planned down one side of the Market Square making reference to a wall which once divided the city.
