Problem
Without places to sit at ease and watch the street go by, a district lacks any quiet threshold between the shelter of the interior and the movement of the world outside.
Solution
Create street cafes that open onto the sidewalk, giving people a place to linger and watch the life of the district pass, so that the calm of the interior meets the movement of the street.
