1 + 3 + 9 version 2

The investigation of the intersection between conflicting urban conditions mediated by the movement of its users.

The definition of a space is not a resolution of program but the execution and activities of its users. The convergence of
human scale with spatial implications of texture, social dynamics, and shifting progression allow for a network of glimpses
into a specific location. Predefined space combined with dynamic space create a unique reaction to the evolution between the
user and their surroundings.

Looking at a space by location and its adjacencies allows for the adaptation of ideas to grow and expand through narrative use.
The story of a place can be told by the materials and the use carved away from its original skin. These layers build upon one another
to expose the existing infrastructure and create a mixture of patterns enabled through the use of human interaction with space
and building. By investigating how these interactions develop a series of unique experiences, it influences the activities and necessary
program for the site. The juxtaposition between the medium of movement, whether it be through walking, driving, or biking, can
influence how to define and understand a place. Creating a unique contrast between existing conditions and user definition allows
for a strong execution of both mental and physical associations within a space. These dynamic spaces begin to feather a more efficient
and appropriate means of movement and human action. How can the main form of mediation begin to interact within its context
through the dead spaces that lies underneath its infrastructure? Using the existing demographic and economic data of a location,
the manifestation of the collaboration between user and space will help define the restrictions and activities exhibited within a
specific site.
