This project probes the question of what makes a true public space. The proposal acts like a counter fabric that invades existing public spaces to foster new kinds of social relationships, driving people away from spectacle culture. We seek to harness the possibility within virtual technology and landscape elements to connect occupants of different districts within the city through an interactive network of playscapes.
The new public space stimulates non-hierarchical creative processes and collaboration between players to establish a new urban consciousness that allows leeways for interpretation, improvisation, and rebellious behavior.
