Our video analyzes the different degrees of transparency and opacity present at the site
as a result of the addition of impermanent objects such as benches and planters. The
plants and foliage, in particular, provided us with vantage points through which to
document the passage of pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle traffic. Also, the presence of
both physical and more transparent boundaries, like the bike lanes, demonstrates how
bicyclists both use and misuse the public space provided to them by the city. With this
information we can design a prototype that provides different experiences and
perspectives based on the existing site conditions.
