Architecture Competition: Room for all – Competition to design a multipurpose public space
Urban social diversity
Cities have always been more like an ecosystem than just merely buildings that house people. There are layers of systems that are stitched together for the city to work smoothly. From transport to the water supply; everything is closely woven into the city fabric. The amount of people in a city house is consistently increasing. The city’s function is not just to put a roof over people’s heads but also to give them a good lifestyle and environment that caters to their betterment. As in the end, every other building or infrastructure that we build in the city has a purpose to serve the people living inside of it.
Let that be through urban neighborhood planning to the construction of a well-functioning house everything is for people. And in such scenarios, there is a high need for building infrastructure that can cater to a large user group of people who have a variety of needs and requirements.
