The concept is to develop the building into a “SYMBOLIC GATE” as well as that links to what currently exists. The response to historical context is abstract. An “elevated green platform” is explored to re-define the boundary between public and private and to provide alternate connections to the adjacent areas. Multiple paths at ground level will provide various access points to transit commuters so that it acts as a hub.
Residential in Urban context always try to have a green space. Also, this green space has always public privacy from people’s behavoir with their own territory. Then finally, all this collective individual create infinite spatial aliveness. Likewise, using collective containers as well as open green space will invent diverse urban context with private publicity.
