About Discussions Projects61 Journals71 Publications7 Competitions2

Public plazas function as essential civic infrastructure where communities gather, interact, and experience shared space. These projects explore how thoughtful design can activate underutilized areas and create destinations that respond to local needs and climate.

The community examines plaza design through diverse approaches: adaptive reuse of existing sites, integration of natural systems and materials, temporary and permanent installations, and strategies that balance public access with functional programming. Work ranges from market pavilions and park interventions to sculptural elements that define gathering spaces.

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.

Human beings live in a realm of nature and also transforms it, but the man has distanced himself from it. Architecture has an ability to change the way people live. The thesis is intended to create a regenerative architecture by fusing it with the natural elements to create a holistic environment for both, man and nature.
