CONCEPT

FOREST B AT H I N G Meaning bathing in the forest atmosphere, or taking in the forest through our senses

Forest bathing which is an activity that happens to be from Japan.

As relating to my site which is in Singapore, landspace is limited and there is minimal deep immerse greenery space for the users who is going through chronic stress.

Design ideology for proposed concept is that instead of taking time to get to the forest, it would be much better in way to mimic the deep nature and bring it to urban context that will be beneficial to local, workers and tourists.
