The Interpretation Centre is a public interactive design that focuses mainly on the user engagement and their involvement with the design. It is an attempt to phase out traditional boundaries allowing maximum visibility amidst different spaces. The design tries to achieve utmost openness and ambiguity of spaces simultaneously catering to the needs of the user’s privacy and seclusion. Well defined pathways are created by placing irregular elements
