FORTI - CITY

Cities can be related to “Forts”, A place that protects as a shell. It stands strong with all the robustness taking all the pain to protect what is inside. Yet Inside there is a life in its finest grain, a world of vibrancy. Today, Why do our apartments turn their back towards the corridor ? Why do our corridors sit empty, impersonal ?  Why do our homes shut the very life that should connect us ? Why cant our corridors breathe the same way as our streets? 
Forti - City is an attempt for the same !
