Abstract
This research explores the redevelopment of the H-block in Bricklane, emphasizing participatory design that foregrounds social, cultural, and symbolic processes. By focusing on “minor architecture,” the project prioritizes community engagement, low-resource interventions, and the lived experiences of residents, framing urban design as both a physical and social practice that challenges conventional power structures.
