Pocket Spaces is a social intervention guide for high density public housing estates. The design turns narrow corridors and stairwells into shared social spaces. A 12-page portable manual printed on recycled paper leads residents step by step, from spotting neglected areas to building simple modular units. Assembly uses wood collected from community waste, cable ties and simple clamps, so elderly residents and children can complete a unit in 30 minutes without special tools. Pocket Spaces supports spatial autonomy and neighborly bonds in communities facing redevelopment.
