Foot-paths

Foot-paths built of oak wood, winds between trees, planted along the edges of the park. The construction is a loan from countless nature trails and parks in Northern Europe, where such paths support moving dry-shoed through high vegetation or across damp areas. A footpath is also an invitation to the body – no matter how old it might be. It simply calls for you to try it out, follow it on discovery or try balancing. And as  these footpaths branch out, they subdivide the area under the trees, creating smaller spaces to “inhabit”.

 

As seen below, the footpaths can also be partially raised. This creates simple seating, interacting with the surrounding hollows, retaining water during sky-falls.
