overview of the poster
Habitat is a cohabitation community designed for "more than humans". The idea is inspired by the concept of "Interspecies" (Stanislav Roudavski, 2020). The design focuses on creating an adaptable and flexible living style, at the same time encouraging re-creating multispecies civilization in a community, re-construct a livable environment, and re-linking neighbourhood friendship.

The Site
Creating Moments in the design
"The intensity of a brief experience. the feeling of being utterly suspended in time, beyond past and future - this belongs to many, perhaps even to all sensations of beauty."
---Peter Zumthor (Thinking Architecture )
