I’m curious. if you were to design a contemporary public space inspired by the Air Nomads, how would you translate their values of openness, lightness, and eco-harmony into a functional, modern urban context?  @joshuaomoijiade

Thanks for the question!

The aim would be to make a place for people to make their own. Lots of the landscape they can interact with. This might mean trees, rocks and paths that make natural nooks and mini obstacles — challenges we can win are fun even in spaces. The exterior would flow into the interior spaces via courtyards for example; the character would be massive with high ceilings that ground the person; to remind of our cosmic scale. Smaller quiet spaces would be available for reflection
