Project Description

Along the riverbank, a stretch of land remains underused — a fragmented, silent edge marked by dead zones where public life has withdrawn. This absence of activity has turned the space into a void within the semi-rural fabric, cutting off the community from both the river and from one another. The proposed intervention transforms these abandoned spaces into a vibrant realm where nature, culture, and human connection intertwine. Positioned in quiet clearings with semi-height trees and open skies, the design invites people not merely to pass through, but to linger, share, and participate in a collective rhythm. 

The spatial arrangement is guided by the natural flow of the site, with staggered platforms, natural and defined walkways, and open lawns framing moments of gathering and solitude alike. The design draws on the textures of daily life — livelihoods expressed in crafts and ambition, cultures celebrated through performances and rituals, and emotions shared in both structured and spontaneous encounters. Healing here is not approached as a passive retreat, but as an active re-connection: to the river’s breathing, to each other’s presence, and to the shared identity of place — where light, water, and greenery work in harmony with human activity. In re-stitching this forgotten edge into the life of the landscape, Convergent turns an overlooked land into a living, breathing, shared space — a place where the spirit expands, and unity is not abstract, but lived.
