The words ‘street’ and ‘road’ have similar
meaning with different nuances. While
streets are man-made and planned
to function, roads are often spaces
unintended, in gradual tranformation.
Think, for a moment, about how different
it is to walk along a sidewalk in a new
city as opposed to an alleyway in an old
neighborhood. Just as with Garosu-gil
or Gyeongridan-gil, areas characterized
from unexpected surprises on the streets.
These areas are given their names with
the word ‘road’ or ‘gil’ (Korean word for
road), at the end.
Perhaps. Perhaps. Perhaps aims to create
a road by randomly placing benches
and other types of comfortable street
furniture such as awnings of familiar
height inviting people to sit and stay
to read a book or rest awhile. A road
that is not only a connection from one
destination to another but a destination
in its own. The temporary structure unit
that forms the project is made into a
standardized module system that are
easy to install, modify and de-stall.
Which can also be used to create a sense
of rhythm and various patterns that
bring life to the roads and surrounding
areas. Furthermore, the ‘unfinishedlook'
of these units are expected to work
as a backdrop for the curiosity and
imagination of its users.
