Architecture... Apertures.... Between-ness

Suspending the moment of isolation, the city, landscape... place is revealed to us in a different format, rather than confronted with the architectural monuments up front, we are brought to a distance, to examine our place in clusters of form, geometry, and somewhat vagueness. By suspending this moment, which is often pass swiftly in travel across the bridge, the architecture may stabilize the visual.

Further, brought to the midpoint of the bridge, where political lines defines our implied place and territory, architecture that is created to be erected from these implied lines offers opportunity to be within the liminality of place, allowing us to experience here and there, from the between.

What the architecture is, in literal terms, may be an aperture to place, as one is viewing place while being separate from place. The sense of knowing that is to arise will come in the manner of being in between the lines, of which enhancing the sense of entry and exit of place as one lingers in between.

Simple terms: architecture: community space: park: various aperture created through teh architectural forms: pedestrian path.
