Our proposal to solve this problem: A fairly primitive and lightweight wigwam-like structure with suspended reflective elements. Two matter (energies) interact and give life around them. This design automatically makes the site work for the environment. This synergy of sun, wind, and matter creates a small oasis in the middle of the city, which has a positive effect on the mental health of the people around it.
