Affirming Space for Children

This engagement tries to capture a perspective on how kids go about using space here at the highway without much amenities given that they are the children of pavement dwellers. The ongoing pandemic has shown us that while they have lost whatever little income they had, children, doing well in life, is a priority, in terms of education. Here is a project that attempts to cater to this need so as to subtly serve the purpose of child development while also addressing the need to better accommodate the existing public space.
