As architects, by constructing the conditions for people to collectively perform alternative ways of gathering, maybe we can agitate the impermanent boundaries around what is normal and accepted. My intervention along El Parkway is a paved ground that makes it possible for people to collectively experience the public realms anew through the movement of their bodies. This festive space has the capacity to hold big carnivals and huge moving crowds. The landscape around it is part of a complex and interlocking network in which things, be it water, plants, identities etc., are all along never-ending paths of movement, cutting their banks as they flow.
