Our design process was initiated by studying the urban context and generating a vector & void diagram which developed a circulation network. Our focus was on enhancing health and wellness by unifying a myriad of outdoor spaces, green spaces and amenities that advocate physical and mental health augmentation.

urban vectors: a network of streets, bridges, boardwalks, promenades, and elevated walkways that plug into the existing system of infrastructure around the site

urban surfaces: the massing component to the urban void and the exterior segue to the urban solid. It plays with the geometry and shape language of both technique while forming its own logic in-between

urban solids: one which looks at the immediate context and sculpts mass and form in response

urban voids: exterior public spaces that builds on, enhances, and relates to the network of urban spaces in the city
