INTRODUCTION
What the brief indicates this neighbourhood and many more like it, need is what designers of public spaces often find themselves struggling with. Often all that is needed is a framing of a social encounter, the most basic but also an essential element of a good public environment.
The secret for popular urban public life is alongside interaction. The possibilty to be together and by yourself at the same time.

DIVERSE NEIGBOURHOOD
There are many different kinds of people of different cultures and ages, there are sport fields and activities already in place in the neighbourhood.

NEED
What people need is a piece of furniture which allows them to gather, meet, stay, sit and play.

FRAMING
They need for doing this with each other but even more important alongside each other. They need a framing for meeting that are already taking place.

SHELTER
In order to make people use the outdoor space you need to provide them with a number of basic features. If there is somewhere to sit people are more likely to sit, the same is applies to places to stand, lie down, talk, walk etc. The second thing needed is shelter. To have shade, semi shade, shelter from wind.

MODULAR UNITS
Modular system, allowing a myriad of situations can easily change for different situations and places. The system is arranged by same sized triangles. These can be pre-produced if need be.

ROOF
The bottom side of a canopy is often neglected, even thou its the one side most seen and experienced. With the possibility of decorative prints it could be used as a strong feature. Imagine laying down in the shade and reading a poem or story instead of a blank surface.

The same applies to the top side; it's going to be seen from all the apartments and could be decorated as well.

LANDSCAPE
The seating landscape is arranged so that there is a richness in variation of how to use it.
