Abstract

This project focuses on the “leftovers” of our urban space after carving out what was required for buildings and transportation, and reintegrating them into a network that can be the habitat and paths for pollinators and small animals.

This network overlaps and interacts with our existing urban structures. Integrating it into our life will undermine the hierarchy of space and commodification of land intensified by the existing grid systems of the city, and introduce a different understanding of coexistence with nature.
