Project Description

Soul Nexus: Redefining Urban Transition Spaces

Soul Nexus is an innovative exploration of transition spaces designed to enhance spatial experience and connectivity in urban interiors. Comprising three distinct typologies—Threshold Nexus, Flow Nexus, and Pause Nexus—this project emphasizes seamless transitions that bridge nature, architecture, private, and public zones. By transforming spaces into immersive environments, Soul Nexus elevates user experience through thoughtful integration of natural and built elements, light and shadow, and varying degrees of enclosure.

The project applies these principles at the Equal Soul Hub, fostering a cohesive, inclusive atmosphere that encourages interaction, reflection, and social connectivity. Scalable and adaptable, these transition typologies offer flexible design solutions across different contexts, advancing broader urban design discussions inspired by theorists like Jan Gehl and Aldo Van Eyck. Soul Nexus not only enhances functional connectivity but also redefines the role of transitions in creating meaningful, human-centric spaces in diverse urban settings.
