About The Entry

The project explores the idea of stitching together fragments of the city while maintaining their individual character. It envisions a large urban corner for veterans that integrates programs such as a hospital, theatre, and housing. The design creates a layered public realm, combining underground spaces, open green areas, and textured façades that also function as garden generators. Grass patterns define circulation and spatial separation, producing both quiet and active zones. Overall, it is a study on expanding public and private spaces vertically and horizontally within a unified urban fabric.
