Void decks of the future

MS ANG XIAO JIA, 21
Designer

My most indelible memory of void decks: Although its bare cement floor is cold and boring, it is a place where events of joy, fun, grief and annoyance have been held. With events varying in nature and yet never seeming out of place, who would have thought that void decks could be that adaptable?

What I think is the best feature of void decks: It would be, without a doubt, the allocation of pillars which separates the space. Whether intentional or not, the pillars create meet-and-chat 'stations' whereby one feels a sense of privacy staying 'hidden' behind.

What I think is most missing from void decks: There is a lack of cohesion between our current void decks and the surrounding green. Although these two entities are a part of our neighbourhood, they seem separated, and unrelated to each other.
