Sam(AR)inda EcoGrid Plaza is a groundbreaking architectural project that redefines city squares into interactive and sustainable hubs using Augmented Reality (AR). Featuring the SAP-P! app for an enriched visitor experience, the plaza invites communities, locals, and tourists to engage with one another and their surroundings. Divided into cultural, educational, and health zones, it supports diverse activities, while its grid system ensures efficient movement and accessibility, marked by Landm(AR)ks at key intersections.

The plaza integrates green open spaces (RTH), bioswales, and retention ponds to enhance biodiversity and environmental sustainability. By blending technology with eco-conscious design, Sam(AR)inda EcoGrid Plaza inspires global cities to create vibrant, interactive spaces that prioritize community well-being and ecological responsibility.
