Coherence Within Life

There are many ways to use fallow land practically. Even if the ground is the area between the two buildings, there is still unity ecology. The psychological, emotional, spiritual, and recreational buildup of the occupants of the building is inextricably linked to the environment of this intermediate area. we decided to renovate the landscape for three types of residential buildings in the residential area of KUET, except for the park. Being an old public housing, there is not much recreational and seating arrangement. And, the spaces between the buildings are not adequately functional. In this landscape project, work has been done to enable these intermediate areas to function as proper recreational, psychological, and spiritual places.
