DESIGN INTENT
Across the site, people have used creative techniques to use the existing infrastructure for their needs. The flexibility to assemble roofs, mobile furnitures, use of extended plinths, etc.
How can existing micro strategies used across the site be used to rethink the nature of transaction that the edge affords and thus the emerging types of different programs ?
