Veining Ethos

The Project caters to a multitude of User groups. Each bring out a respective spirit and culture of their own to their practices and livability. Ideating the project as an Urban common the temporality of user activities and experiences have been characterized strategically. The Flexibility of the project in coexisting within an extensive cultural bandwidth makes it a catalyst. Spatially the ground function is based on the cross pathing user group walkability and engagement potentiality on the public edge,  buffer and the core ground. Therefore, that feeds the naming Veining penetrating into the Ethos of the envisioned cultural modularity.
