DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
TO MOVEs is a device for promoting sport among the inhabitants of outer cities. Like a Transformer it is capable of taking on different configurations thanks to its adaptability. Wherever it is positioned, it can take advantage of the specifics of each place.
TO MOVEs hooks onto any handy elements found in a street, square or park, turning them into gathering places, facilities where play becomes training, civilization and the future.
