Unwrapping Urban Natures- Layering Experiential Scapes

My project aims to redefine the urban landscape by seamlessly merging hardscape with softscape and establishing a connection between the city and the river while providing experiences to the residents of GIFT City. The ecological park is an attempt to bring about a balance between nature and human experiences. Divided into three distinctive zones—active recreation, passive recreation, and the commons—it offers a diverse range of activities, ensuring a mix of leisure and engagement. Beyond just greenery, the park is an immersive journey, ‘unwrapping’ both ecology and experiences. Striking a balance, it becomes a space where the city life converges with nature. Dotted throughout are modular pavilions, each serving a unique purpose, adding layers to the overall experience. As visitors traverse through active play areas, serene retreats, and communal spaces, they are not merely spectators but active participants.
