LINEAR PUBLIC SPACE
To create a place which is unique in it's approach to user interaction, I began to explore the possibilities that exhist in pedestrian walkways and the role they could potentially play in user experience, through and around the new development. These paths have the potential to serve several functions, rather than simply that of a physical vein of movement.
The project THE RED LINE, by BIG Architects uses this concept to produce a distinct red line of circulation which changes in it's role as the user progresses through the site.
The project is comprised of several very different urban forms which serve very different activities, I feel that my development will be similar in this regard, comprised of several different urban forms, it is however the pedestrian paths and linear public space that will link the development and enrich the human experience.
"We propose a project defined by a linear public space that like a red line ties the three distinct urban areas together. It invites public life along a new water front promenade, brings it onto a rooftop hiking path to enjoy the views over Tampere, and into the tribunes of the new improved stadium." Bjarke Ingels, Founding Partner, BIG.
A linear public space, the red line, meanders through the three new developments and connects them to the surrounding neighbourhoods. The red line changes shape and function throughout the area – from a boardwalk with harbor baths and saunas along the miniature skyline to a public hiking path reaching the peak of the perimeter block, finally ending as a running track along the stadium building.
