Open Space
By first following the parallel grid form of the building and extending into the plaza, the frontage of the plaza is defined so to bring in and attract activities into the open space then into the building, or from the building extending into the plaza, etc.
With the movement of users that is perpendicular to the parallel grid of the buidling, it creates multiple intersecting points in the grid. Multiple activity pods are then placed on these intersecting points while maintaining the existing food stalls along the alleyway.
