Evocation

Evocation aims to create a contemporary and diverse space that can be used by the residents of the area to share and connect. The proposed market/travel hub aims to create a smooth transition between existing traditional conditions and contemporary changes through deconstruction and collaging of different urban elements within the site. This is primarily achieved by relocating the elevated subway and replacing it with a market. It would also include a travel hub, a community kitchen, and a local exchange program. Evocation hence aims to encapsulate, share, and create new memories.
