THE LINE
It all started with a line.
A line into the landscape.
To emphasize the topography and to highlight the
situation.
Leading the way.
Not like a point, but a movement onwards.
What needs should this line fulfil?
Situated in a common space - a playground in a
coming neighbourhood.
It should be a place to meet.
A place to chat, to play, to climb, to hide, to run, to
sit in peace, to light a fire, to gather around and to
feel safe.
A place for the four seasons.
Where you could sit in the morning sun, sheltered
from the gusting winds blowing down the valley.
Or enjoy the warmth of the last rays of sun, while it
is setting over the mountains in the west.
A shelter for rainy days, and a base for snow and
games.
A place where you would bring your family, or meet
up with your friends.
Where the kids can explore, and the parents sit in
peace.
In the meeting between this movement and the
unknown terrain, a challenge arose.
How would this line be able to find it’s place in a
topography of uncertainty?
