THE CONJOINT EDGE

The project aims to design an interactive and programmatic public space and street edge condition that will provide more choices to the residents of the neighbourhood to engage in more recreational interests. The design is people centric where the street acts as a kit of parts functioning as a container of human activities than just being a connector. The design supports life engagements while bringing more freedom and opportunities both for the residents and the vendors. It aims to provide the best possible user experience by helping people to reclaim the streets while supporting their daily activities through the design.
