Walking Path
Within our hearts lies a remarkable walking path that holds our cherished memories and bears witness to our personal growth. Often, we may have overlooked its presence, even though it has faithfully guided us home or led us to various destinations. A walking path represents a fundamental and significant public space. It is now time to rekindle our appreciation for this path beneath our feet and rediscover its hidden beauty.

Lawn
Open lawns in urban areas offer the community a shared public space for rest and rejuvenation. Within these lush green spaces, people can take leisurely walks, enjoy a peaceful nap, immerse themselves in a captivating book, engage in playful activities, walk their furry companions, express their creativity through sketching or music, and gather for delightful meals. The lawn serves as a precious gift bestowed by nature, providing a tranquil haven for all
to appreciate. It is also crucial to nurture and maintain this precious resource with utmost care.
