THE RAMP - AGE

The onset of COVID-19 pandemic has rendered the functioning of a multitude of public spaces unsafe and their habitability a hazard.

With people stuck up in their homes, new Public spaces must be designed in which people feel safe, comfortable and where they can foster mental, physical and spiritual health.

With work from home going on and people caged up in their houses there is a need for a Quick breather and a Relaxation point for the people.

RAMP - AGE is coming up with the solution where a Vertical Garden would be constructed, connected through Ramps moving on different levels and where each level offers a different experience to the user.

An online slot system to restrict the number of users and to ensure proper physical distancing.

Works as a Plug in that can be installed in various locations at an Urban scale.

Ramps are provided for openness and free movement, and also to avoid direct contact.
