In the context of the newly opened country of Myanmar, orientating development on a socially responsible path is crucial for its well-being. Pedestrians are unconsidered in the motor vehicle lead urban layout, the idea of creating a pedestrian highway would promote alternative circulation networks. The project is proposing a linear car-free pathway along an existing above-ground water pipeline. Occurring along the promenade, special punctuations were designed to upgrade the various surrounding programs including the enlargement of a school’s playground, the extension of the adjacent local restaurant, shading and resting area for the existing sport field, decent sheltering for the homeless families living there, facilitating the current urban farming and creating gathering space for the residents. The locally prefabricated bamboo modules have been designed by collaboration between Taiwanese and Burmese university students.
