Spatial Design
The Urban Canopy: A City Sanctuary' proposes a new urban space in a city dominated by concrete, blending nature with city life. Centred around a pavilion, it fosters community connection and environmental awareness. Lush gardens, winding pathways, and quiet seating areas provide a haven for both people and wildlife. This sanctuary promotes biodiversity, noise reduction and improves air quality, all while providing a retreat for reflection, relaxation and reconnection with nature amidst our urban landscape within the civic precinct.
