Dialogue

The project endeavors to construct an intimate pathway within the bustling environment of the public plaza, fostering physical encounters and dialogue among its visitors. The design features two curving wooden boards, each taking on distinct degrees of curvature, intricately shaping the spatial dynamics and relationships between individuals traversing the pathway. Whether you find yourselves as close friends or complete strangers, the evolving space dictates the nature of your interaction. At times, proximity facilitates encounters, while at others, it prompts moments of separation. This installation embodies a journey of encounters, confrontations, connections, separations, and so on, offering a dynamic exploration of human interaction within a shared public space. In terms of construction, the installation comprises an inner steel frame with slots of bendy plywood, which can easily bend and adapt to various configurations. This system not only ensures structural integrity but also provides the flexibility to change the cladding material from wood to others, offering the possibility of entirely different looks and textures, thus extending its lifespan and adaptability for future installations or reconfigurations.
