How might diminishing theatrical practices be re-imagined
4. Site Research
The Kim Son alleyway was once home to the Kim Son Chinese Theatre House before the Khmer Rouge devastation

The sensitive design approach emerged from the existing composition of the space, highlighting the organic nature of the social acitivity that takes place. Using the powerlines as sightlines, and boundaries as thresholds, the intervention does not interfere with its occupants and their residencies, rather it encourages you to experience the space from a new perspective
Design Process:
2. Transparency challenges: Privacy and security are lost when the concept of transparency is applied
3. Transparency opportunity: Combined with lighting, the fence boundary becomes a threshold for social activity through immersive silhouettes
How might we... regenerate areas of conflict to create thresholds for social, cultural and educational activity.

Children do not have a designated place for play.
The streets are either too busy or narrow, and can be dangerous particularly at night.
In Observation 1, it was observed that the hostile security on residential facades can have an isolating effect and limit interaction between neighbourhood kids.
Goal - To transform unactivated residential alleyways into playgrounds that promote interaction between neighbourhood children.
Children will gather and interact with the auditory horn kit of parts to explore space, shape and sound in their streets. Through playful innovation, this activity aims to build a stronger sense familiarity within the community.
The playground will light up at night. This not only adds to the sense of safety and security, but also creates a unique sense of intrigue that inspires curiousity.
