Desain Arsitektur 5 - Park on Top

Natural landscape and greenery enhance human’s physical

and psychological health. Greeneries are found to be helpful

in provoking positive state of mind, thus leading to faster

physical recovery and better well-being. On the other hand,

urban environment setting (pedestrian street, traffic,

residential area, rush hour, etc.) tends to make people more

prone to stress and bad health condition.

Park is a way to maximize greenery, while placing it on top is

meant to avoid contact with the busy and crowded urban scene

on the street level.
