Automobiles create a whole new phase of motion but, at the same time, pedestrians are experiencing the heavy traffic around them. However, in this project, the suffocating pressure created by heavy traffic can be transformed into a unique reflection of a prosperous city.

The “Speed Deconstruction” is an interface set beside the curb, which creates a new connection between pedestrians and vehicles. The interface is a grille made of duralumin bars combined with glass in a twisted form. Each duralumin bar can be rotated by wind individually. In that way, speed can be “visualized”.

Through refraction of lights, the interface harmoniously blends the traffic flow and pedestrians into a scene of urban “motion”.

Fuse urban scene with motion

 How to create a more friendly connection between pedestrians and vehicles?

 An interface creates a new connection between pedestrians and automobiles, which deconstruct and fuse them into a scene of motion.

The interface is a grille made of duralumin bars combined with glass in a twisted form. Each duralumin bar can be rotated by wind individually. 

It fused the refraction of moving vehicles on the road and the reflection of people walking on the pavement.
