Context: The Old and the Young, Our Heritage and Our Future
Progressively, urban planners and policymakers are not only highlighting the need to design the city for
our most vulnerable dwellers, but also vouching that such a paradigm shift has created greater inclusivity and, in turn, a
better environment for everyone. Beyond static indices of liveability, convenience, and comfort, this facilitates an organic
growth in other-awareness, sociability and empathy.
Intervention: Landscape as Catalyst
This studio assumes a bold stance that landscape architecture, as it stands at the intersection between ecology, infrastructure, and social space, is strategically poised to augment the health of the environment and the people symbiotically.
How will outdoor and semi-outdoor spaces in and around our residential estates be designed differently if designers had a deeper understanding of the needs and circumstances of the vulnerable in our society?
