Description
-
Street Choreography elevates the dynamic qualities of the city, designing through sequence, time, and experience. The street is highly regulated, often defined by its boundaries and limitations rather than its movements and rhythms. The work focuses on the public space of the street, defined as the surfaces between urban street trees, and imagines a future city that is carefully calibrated to the daily routines of its residents. The street is no longer dominated by vehicular movement and storage. It is not beholden to commercial activity, utility conveyance, and wasteful construction. Instead, it is the public space for urban life. Through the recovery and articulation of the surface, the insertion of canopy, and design of a new maintenance regime, the experience of being on the street is foregrounded. The design is observation-based and instructs a public realm that accommodates the upkeep of materials and public programs over time.
