Urban Parasols

Interlude and Urban Parasols intervention seeks the notion of "giving the ground back to the city." Projects are system driven considering re-purposing and adapting to existing and future needs. In order to reduce disturbance, highly porous structures are carefully positioned around trees to conserve and enhance the current landscape build an public oasis connecting the heterogeneity of the old and new city fabric and also re-structure the mobility system along the stretch. The intent brings forth the need for co-living spaces in this high density fabric responding to the setting of educational and institutional buildings and catering to heritage interpretation center fostering cities heritage asset. The building's tectonics will embrace the green corridors by creating stepping grounds and terraces that serve as microclimates, bridging spaces, and flexible elevated grounds that maximize the adaptable system's potential.
