These past few years, global concerns reside on travelling restrictions caused by the pandemic which forces people to cut off into shorter trips. Providing a public space to work, relax, gather, and do various activities for all age groups closer within their own district will help tackle this problem.

Issues surrounding sustainability also become something to consider, which Playful Whorl(d) try to achieve by creating modular compartments for this public space with materials such as Wood Plastic Composite (recycled plastic and wood). Having modular parts means that the space is malleable to new forms without changing sites, it also means that the facility itself is the one to be transported rather than the user, reducing pollution that could be caused. For efficiency, the modules are transported using a high-speed low pressure tube underground that also serves as a very efficient public transport system.

The hexagonal shape for the modules is chosen for its efficient and stable form, also seen in nature such as beehives and snowflakes, which symbolises harmony and balance.

Playful Whorl(d) is an adaptable facility that reinvents mobility for its users, with accessibility for pedestrians, small vehicles, and water-based transport.
