The concept of The Punctured Fabric evolves through the semester as an exploration of voids and punctures to enhance natural light, ventilation, and social connectivity within dense urban housing. Starting with massing studies, the design incorporates multi-level courtyards, terraces, and vertical voids as vibrant social spaces that foster community interaction. These openings strategically allow light and air to penetrate deep into the structure, creating healthier living conditions while blending the built form with its surroundings. The punctures serve as a balance between openness and intimacy, redefining the urban housing fabric to prioritize wellness, privacy, and connectivity.
