something else

From walking around the site today, I find there is something contradictory.

The train station + rail tracks, the canal, and the overpasses (flyovers?) suggest that this area  is all about making connections between places. On the other hand, these supposedly "links" also create major barriers for the local. I mean, it is extremely difficult to walk around the site. Maybe we can build our ideas on "connections" and see who else have done this and the way they did it.

Maybe we can be a practice that sees the obstacles and build projects that either remedy the situation or at least critique it somehow. What do you guys think?
