The Pocket Space Playbook is a social design toolkit for high density public housing. It transforms underutilized corridors and stairwells into functional social nodes. The design consists of a portable manual and an assembly system using 100 percent recycled materials like bamboo and wood pallets. By utilizing low barrier connections such as cable ties, residents can construct modular units in 30 minutes without tools. This project promotes spatial autonomy and fosters neighborly bonds in communities facing redevelopment. It provides a scalable solution for urban social resilience.
