Public squares are essential urban spaces where communities gather, connect, and experience shared environments. This topic explores how designers and architects approach the creation and transformation of these spaces to enhance public life and social interaction.

The community examines diverse approaches to public square design, from large-scale urban interventions and campus developments to intimate community hubs and retail podiums. Projects range from radical urban reclamation and resilience-focused planning to innovative structural solutions that reshape how people experience shared public areas.

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.

Bend It

This struck me first when reviewing how the adjacent community has appropriated the abandoned train route to commune with nature and neighbors in ways that are informal, organic, creative, and productive.

Connaught Plaza

As William Whyte says "What attracts people most, it would appear, is the people" and for that the space must be inclusive for all in true sense. The proposal attempts to preserve and enhance the existing value that CP is producing towards inclusivity as a Public Space.

Towards the new normal

This pavilion is directed toward the understanding of the concept of negative space in relation to interior and exterior environmental situations. The form is devoted to a series of abstract visual experiences designed to develop awareness of space and of the relationship of forms to a particular negative volume.
