Pocket Park, small areas that can make up for the emptiness, abandonment and no function of many spaces that are located within our cities, triggering processes of urban regeneration through the discovery of a new "life" and a new potentiality to accommodate. This must be rediscovered and brought to light so as to realize and perceive a different urban imaginary. A product of urban interior design that is confronted with large courtyards: rooms without roof, this product can improve the quality of everyday life, designed to be together and to know the other's culture, where the confrontation between people is based on the sharing of the common space, living outdoors to accommodate people and make them feel like "home", and together with the people ... with all the other.
