In the context of a city of spatially independent networks i.e. large corporate organisations, commercial chains, transport systems etc. public space becomes more and more controlled, surveyed, privatised. This gradual loss of purpose and meaning shifts the idea of what public space could be. The Mobile Traffic Island is a mechanism for creating spontaneous spaces for public interaction. It questions the ownership of the road and in this way creates a dynamic link between existing public spaces and circulation routes.

flow:

It is a piece of infrastructure which operates as a motorway during the peak traffic hour and

incorporation:

through the rest of the day acts as a public space connecting previously inaccessible spaces.
