When thinking of a traffic-heavy site such as Pakwan Junction, the lack of accessibility immediately comes to mind, especially for the user group of elderly and disabled people. However, after mapping and analysing the site, a much deeper problem came forward - the lack of a sense of belonging.
This project aims to include: 1. Accessible and affordable healthcare for all, but especially for the elderly and the disabled people, and 2. A space for rest and recreation, which encourages interaction with others as well as physical exercise to foster a sense of belonging. 
Apart from this, green space has been maximised to combat air pollution due to vehicular emissions and improve mental wellbeing, elements like ramps, tactile paving and no level difference have been incorporated to ensure accessibility, and the vendors present on-site have been included as well.
