With this proposal, Amusement Logic’s Design Department turns public space into a kind of soft, fluid and continuous topography. The shapes extend, rise, fold and descend as if the terrain itself were stretching; as if it were breathing and inviting people to rest, stroll or play with its breaths; without hierarchies or defined limits. They are not benches, they are spaces that naturally welcome, almost with a caress, the gazes and bodies of passers-by.
The project opts for an emotional infrastructure, a kind of urban flesh in which art, landscape and ergonomics are harmoniously deposited. The formal language, almost liquid, suggests movement even when everything is silent. The materials withstand time and use, but also reflect light and, in this interplay, produce a visual experience that changes throughout the day.
The design proposes a new way of understanding public space: an interregnum between the functional and the poetic. A place where the boundaries between architecture and sculptural art are blurred, where the city becomes friendly, embracing, tactile… and participatory.
