Intervention

A small temporary gathering space will be set up with spaces to sit and recline inviting people to spend more time relaxing in Tin Alley. Techniques like rolling out fake grass and bringing in plants in pots will also be used to soften the space and make it more enjoyable. Arrangement of free coffee at particular times of the day would also bring more people to the space.

Sensitive to Nature

The placing of plants will bring relaxation and refreshment both physically and mentally. Nature ii“i˜ÌÃ܈LÀˆ˜}…i>Ì…Li˜iwÌÃvœÀ̅iÕÃiÀà `Õi̜…Õ“>˜½ÃLˆœ«…ˆˆVÌÀ>ˆÌ ÕÅiÌ>]ÓäÓä®°
