Thesis Process
I live in a heavily overcrowded country. Being in a crowded environment can make individuals, especially women, extremely uncomfortable and paranoid about their safety.
Women tend to avoid these spaces due to the discomfort or visit only if necessary. And therefore, they don't find relaxation or the need to loiter in open public spaces (which is done largely by men, as observed in urban settings). Creating a separate (or exclusive) space could help address safety. However, that would lead to a large disconnect to the outside world with hard boundaries.
