Space as a catalyst of ‘Movement, Connectivity and Exchange of senses”

Aim
This is a project of Urban Park which aims to link the waterfront to the city core. The project also explores on the experiential quality of space.

Background
Most of the parks and public gathering spaces are concentrated along the riverfront where the outdoor events takes place, while, the city projects constant movement with the grid of road network in consonance with the building facades. Integrating park reintroduces an alternative place of rest and contemplation within the city-core.

Concept
• The Urban Park project is designed as discovered paths encouraging exploration and gathering inside the city.
• The Urban Park is a space of form and materials that encourages phenomenon of experiences.
• Experiences depend on individual perception, hence it is ever changing. It is experienced as a composition of remembrance and imagination.
• The space is defined in terms of movement, light, sound, smell, touch, shadow enclosure, openness, intimacy, vastness, looking out, being looked at- i.e. sequence of atmospheres.
• The sequences of rooms are defined by architecture of walls, spaces between the walls, encouraging different uses.
