Title:
Man and the built environment
Synopsis:
Coronavirus has almost shut off people’s willingness to go out. Void is such a prevalent phenomenon that raises questions about the relationships between individual and place. While some of the citizens sought refuge in nature from the crowd, there is nowhere others can go without having to fear of the disease in the city. If people have a role in actualising a place into space through stories and events (Michel De Certeau) on “Spatial Stories”), architecture should be built with the foundation to improve the quality of life. In this documentary, relationship between individual and people and issues with the lack of public open spaces will be analysed, using Time Square as a site.
