The Meeting Place by ASPECT Studio
THE MEETING PLACE by ASPECT Studio, is part architectural installation/ sculpture and social experiment. It is a playful installation which encourages participation and interaction whilst heightening the experience of moving through the urban space of Little Hunter Street. The concept is to create a space within the existing the lane way – by creating two 4m high curtain walls of elastic fabric. The material has an opacity to it which allows for views through and when lit at night becomes a canvas for revealing movement of people through the space.
People have to negotiate their way through the laneway by communication and contact with other people like themselves that are moving in the opposite direction. This social aspect of watching, communicating and negotiating with people will increase positive human contact with a sense of play.
