The current movement on the site is functional but lacks engagement and interest. Pathways are straightforward and efficient but lack character or points of interest. There's a missed opportunity to create spaces that invite people to linger, interact, and enjoy their surroundings. By reimagining movement on the site through the introduction of dynamic courtyards, we can transform it into an experience that not only facilitates travel but also enriches it with opportunities for pause, connection, and exploration.

The existing shops play a crucial role in shaping movement on the site. They act as focal points, attracting people and directing foot traffic. However, the current setup may lack integration with the overall site design, leading to a disjointed experience. By strategically incorporating these shops into the layout and creating inviting spaces around them, we can enhance the flow of movement and encourage visitors to explore beyond just the shops. This approach not only improves accessibility but also enriches the overall experience by creating vibrant hubs of activity that contribute to the site's identity and sense of community.

Movement on the site is made easier and more interesting with a series of courtyards. These courtyards are not just pathways; they're lively spaces where people can hang out and do things. They have benches, nice plants, and cool things to look at, making them perfect for taking a break or chatting with others as you move around.

The design makes sure that moving through the site feels smooth and natural by blending the courtyards into the layout. Each courtyard has its own vibe, with different levels, textures, and plants, making the journey through them feel like an adventure.

Like the extra parts of the building that can change, these courtyards can also be used in different ways over time. By letting the community decide how to use them, the design makes the site feel like it belongs to everyone. This way, moving around the site isn't just about get m one place to another; it's about exploring and connecting with others through the series of courtyards.
