- lack of social activities and communication
- lack of creative activities and variety in social spaces
- lack of comfort and mobility for the handicapped and elderly
These problems could eventually develop physical and mental problems in the long run.
From all the research, surveys and interviews conducted, my group members and I have finally come up with a solution.
What inspired our design was a spider web. The web interconnects and forms a unit.
PROPOSED DESIGN
The social web
Instead of building it on the ground, we decided to construct a floating social space in between buildings that does not require any land due to the limited land in Singapore. An elevated social space, connecting a few blocks together. This space has an indoor and an outdoor feature. The indoor social space has glass walls and ceiling to open up the space and also to expand the creative mind of individuals. Not only it makes it convenient for residents of different buildings to meet, it is also catered to all age groups especially the elderly as the use the space more frequently.
Due to the convenience of this space, it is aimed to reduce isolation and loneliness. We believe that this would reduce the development physical and mental problems in the long run. We also aim to improve the communication among individuals.
