While the bridge looks like a circuit, it indeed acts as a circuit to extend circulation from the ground to an elevated level, at the same time offer a spatial experience that rationalizes staying and resting in the middle of busy roads. Round paths, especially this built without having to deal with context constraints, contain an intention of defining a center or creating a loop that prolongs human’s wandering/ observing time. A good example is the conquering of domestic workers on Sunday, in which both the bridge (upper right) and the scattered spaces along the street sheltered by it (bottom left) enable relaxation for whole day long. This is like an irony of the aligned roads underneath (upper left to bottom right). Given the body can be a media to experience architectural qualities and thus using them to compose memory and worth, citizens should offer themselves a break at least during transport time. That would be a compliment of diving into futuristic speedy life, a balance of producing and internalizing.
