the Underpass: Concept Ideas

In order to explain this process, we need to divide the experience in three parts. The old Pontefract town centre is area ‘1’, the Underpass is area ‘2’ and the new Prince of Wales development is area ‘3’.

The interaction between these three areas should not be isolated from each other. In the diagram below, we can see all the possible interrelations between the three key points in no particular order. In simple words, we are not seeking a logical progress from point 1 to point 2 and then 3 but more an experience that can jump from point 1 to 3, then 2 to 1 and back to 2, 3 and so on.

This can be achieved by mixing the qualities of these three points (either by the use of sound, light or any other technologies) and therefore ‘brake’ each point’s individuality. Therefore point 1 becomes another version of point 2 or 3 and vice versa. These ideas should be more developed in future research and ideas as well actual facts that will be posted here soon.
