Abstract
The design reimagines infrastructure as more than a functional necessity, recognising its inherent value in shaping both environments and communities. Its urban approach becomes a catalyst for new opportunities, revitalising the neglected physical context and enhancing neighbourhood quality of life through vibrant circulation. By integrating social and infrastructural elements, the project aims to establish a strong connection with the urban fabric, generating value for both local residents and the wider city. Functioning as a mobility hub, the design fosters social interaction and gathering through its circulation zones, outdoor areas, and multifunctional interior spaces. Embedded within the urban grid, the strategically positioned project promotes spatial connectivity and equal opportunity among communities, taking advantage of its unique location between park and neighbourhood as part of a broader boulevard route.
