The project delves into captivating potentials through diverse conceptualizations and visual representations. Situated by the river, it embraces intriguing natural elements. The serene river fosters a curiosity to overcome obstacles, blending work and play amidst these organic features, reviving them for harmonious coexistence of nature and humanity. At its core, the project ponders on how land can nurture humans, and reciprocally, how we can nurture the land. Moreover, the project’s typology facilitates exploration of health-related possibilities on a profound level, experimenting with spatial formations amidst such topography
