Situated at a park embedded deep in the Central Business District of Singapore, the park symbolises a respite from the business of life. However, in view of a pandemic situation, gathering together in close proximity is not safe. To mitigate this situation, our design hopes to be able to socially-distance poeple in an intinsic manner, but yet provide connections and even some excitement to the park, despite this precarious day and age.

To achieve this, a set of glass louvers weave through the benches at the site, socially-distancing users whilst they use the benches. In addition, the louvers becomes a light installation in the evening, responding to the number of people at the site through sensors. In the spirit of recreation, we implemented swings that are evenly spaced along the louvers to activate the space in a safe and exciting manner.
