RECLAIMING PUBLIC SPACE AT THOKAR NIAZ BAIG, LAHORE
Rejuvenating a dissolute canal; at Thokar Niaz Baig, Lahore by maximizing the waterfront exposure, and by treating the site in a public friendly manner, creating spaces for public both for recreational and educational purpose. The whole site is treated like an organ of the city to give this gateway to the Lahore city, a modern authentic identity.
LA LOGI-C
Very provocative and enticing proposal in terms of programme. Execution can be improved, space is unnecessarily complicated without adding any spatial quality benefit. However, kudos for the exciting proposal.
If you want to make this concept work you could work out a basic concept for adding boxes in the box. The facades are, to my opinion, too much building. You could show more how it works by making it more transparant and I miss a touch of green. Always welcome in a hard city.
TERBATAS
TERBATAS is an attempt to create a futuristic service station in the city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where the service station is not just a temporary stop but develops to be a pause point and recreation zone for people coming to this station. This station facilitates not just vehicular gas filling station but also breaks the stereotype of a typical station.

Reverse Park
Reverse Park is a car park that pushes drivers to deconstruct their cars instead of parking them. Materials gained from deconstruction are used to create furniture and objects to improve social infrastructure for city residents.

NEO-CONNECT
"People make cities & it is to them, that we must fit our plans"- Jane Jacobs Due to the urban sprawl & limited land resources, the public open spaces in the city are vanishing. We envision CP as an inclusive multi layered public utility space, which would promote community interactions & serve as an inclusive and sustainable unit for an equitable city.
IPARCIadox
What if, a parking tower transformed into a tower that celebrated public spaces? What if, the system of parking itself changes dynamically to a park + play paradox that enables you to experience varied landscapes that are otherwise lost in an urban setup? Come, unzip alternative realities of parking for Manhattan, with a new metamorphic fabric.
EW _ PARK
Electric Wood Park. It is a wooden tower that accommodates human-driven or drive less car parks in an extremely compact and automated way. It is a light, modular, bio-sustainable building and produces energy for electric cars and internal mechanisms; its iconic appearance is guaranteed by the total use of wood in very dense concrete urban contexts.
The activity is limited to cars and offices in the future. I think there's a huge opportunity to fill in this concept with other activities specific to cities. Shelters for homeless people, ecological (animal) farming, greenery, schools, ...
Hope that the project offers more than the use of wooden structure. However nothing much. Not inspiring.
Table Spot
Table Spot outfits a standard parking meter with a table, providing an informal, temporary space to citizens. Because meters are in high turnover areas, Table Spot facilitates impromptu social interaction and programming to already activated sidewalks. Meters often run the length of a street, providing a variety of opportunities for testing and installation.
Amazing work
