[ ORPROJECT ] 10m³ DI PAUSA

10m³ di Pausa is an urban installation which helps us acknowledge the value of space in the city and the growing necessity for green cars.

A field of green 'grass leaves' takes hold of the urban space, offering 10 cubic meters of relax for the people passing by. Interaction with this grass field and the possibility of immersion within it allows us to escape from the traffic and confusion. The silhouette allows us to visualise the volume occupied by every car. The substitution of that volume with green suggests a progressive re-appropriation of the natural territory. At night the silhouette becomes a fluorescent veil, the memory of a shape emptied of its content.

The installation is made up of industrial and common use materials: green rubber hose pipe with a core in metal rod. Two wider industrial pipes are filled with concrete and painted yellow becoming two stools on which people can sit observing the city through a different natural perspective.
