the sectional perspective at the proposed new deck level shows how the intervention maximizes utility of the "dead" or "leftover" space under the flyover, with steel tension rods used to suspend modular 4'x8' precast concrete decks under its belly, creating an elevated park/ walkway. the space between he tension rods is covered using galvanized steel mesh, which besides acting as handrail also allows creepers to grow up over it, giving privacy to residents and greenery to both sides. besides staircases at regular intervals, the design features designated decks which can be lowered using a counterweight pulley system. the modules combine together in various ways to form benches, tables, chairs, children's play equipment such as slides, swings, see-saws etc.
