reimagine public spaces: civic hackathon- wanna hang out
DESCRIPTION
Reimagine Mumbai's Public Spaces : Plaza in Powai All we want at the end of the day is to Hangout somewhere. Its time to reclaim space for people just to have some fun. Our project aims to create a walkthrough through a parking lot. A walkthrough that will have swings, color, a place to hang wishes and art created by children, or just shade for you to relax. An important component of this design is to be able to use this space in the night till 11:30 pm. In the night it can become a destination to celebrate food, street theatre, outside movies just by creating an atmosphere that will have a lot of light. These lights will also act as a place for kids to come and study in the night. Sooooo Lets Hangout POWAI :)TRANSCRIPT
