The design will be in phases where phase 01 would focus on the soft skillthat requires the community to be engaged while the micro design is being built.

Utilizing the urban design scale, it kick starts the project of creati n g a n i n c l u s i v e s o c i e t y.

The prototype aims to integrate different age generations through facilitating new hawker typologies. Introducing a prototype that attracts youngsters to engage in new hawker-scape,through a series of modification and articulation of urban surface. The objective was to enhance the current incubation program in facilitating the process and r e v i t a l i s i n g f o r b o t h t h e y o u n g e r a n d o l d e r h a w k e r s .
