In dense urban centres, public space is confined\u00a0to the streets which\u00a0are\u00a0striated<\/strong> in nature: sharp boundaries that\u00a0define buildings as a separate<\/strong> entities from the ground. For the public, this relationship makes their experience of the city with architecture single dimensional: limited<\/strong> to that of viewing buildings from a distance.<\/p>\n

If the building and ground begin to merge, boundaries of the city and architecture can also be blurred and the experience of the city and the building is fused as one that is smooth<\/strong><\/em>. By manipulating the striated and smooth, the\u00a0public can be engaged<\/strong><\/em> with both the qualities of architecture and the city while creating<\/strong><\/em> a new public realm in a dense environment.<\/p>\n
