Threshold of urban nature and urban habitat redefined

The process of environmental protection has led to social exclusion of nature from the city. The exclusion is clearly reflected in the wall constructed at the threshold. However, the social interactions and everyday practices amongst the citizens crossing the built-forest boundaries suggests a far more dynamic and complex world, which the existing threshold fails to cater to. 

Hence, the project challenges the modern approach of physical and ideological separation of the urban habitat and urban nature and emphasizes the necessity of a radical reorganization of the transition of natural ecosystem into dense three-dimensional cities by creating an alternate prototype threshold.
