Architecture can be a reflection of multiple forces which were given on the site, and sense of community comes when the relationship between site or place with users is intensified, the sense of participation which a particular building gives to its users.
Contexts are always important.
In this project, generative materials literally come from site essence (recreational park), climate, culture, and they are translated into space, form, tectonic and ambiance.
