Exchange

Upon entering the Nature in the City competition, each group is given a particular word to base the designs from. In our case, we were given the word 'Exchange' along with having to integrate natural elements into our design.

We took this as an exchange of knowledge. skills and items within a healthy community.

Between each block, there would be community squares that housed differing functions depending on the desires of those living nearby. These functions can be swapped out with different activities at any time.

The low-level neighbourhood streets can be primarily pedestrianised during some parts of the year to reduce vehicular traffic and promote nature within the city through landscaping and planting.

Squares

Activities

In each square, there is an opportunity for different activities, whether that be from roller-skating, creating timber pavilions or a giant chess board to play with one another to strengthen connections within the community.

Opportunities

From day to night, each square opens the door to different activities and opportunities to create and share the space with neighbours. The creations of the community itself through workshops can be displayed within these squares.
