Why Sidewalks?<\/span><\/p>\n

The sound of our steps. 3am, a woman sifts through a communal bin for plastic and cardboard. Siesta, under a tree and deafened by the sound of cicadas, a key-cutter sleeps on a scooter in perfect equilibrium, head on the saddle and legs stretched over the handlebars. Briefcases and heels flow in and out of a subway entrance. Two friends meet at a corner then continue to their destinations. A drunk sound asleep on a patch of grass. There is no sidewalk.<\/p>\n

Pavement, curbs, holes, bricks, tiles, stones, weeds, dust, asphalt, meetings, steps, fear, bus stops, lights, signs, chairs, stalls, windows…\u00a0 Veredas, Trottoirs\u2026Sidewalks.<\/p>\n

If anything, Sidewalks is a productive provocation, and an interesting starting point for exploring ideas that are central to our project, and that we continue to explore. Below are some of our starting points.<\/p>\n

\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 Veredas?<\/span><\/p>\n

El sonido de nuestros pasos. 3am, una mujer hurga los tachos de basura de una comunidad en b\u00fasqueda de pl\u00e1sticos y cartones. Siesta, bajo un \u00e1rbol y aturdido por el canto de las chicharras, un cerrajero duerme sobre su moto esc\u00fater en perfecto equilibrio, la cabeza sobre el asiento y las piernas estiradas sobre el manubrio. Portafolios y tacones que entran y salen de la estaci\u00f3n del metro. Dos amigas se encuentran en una esquina y luego contin\u00faan cada uno a su rumbo. Un borracho duerme tirado en el pasto. No hay vereda.<\/p>\n

Acera, cordones, pozos, ladrillos, baldosas, piedras, yuyo, polvo, asfalto, encuentros, pasos, miedo, paradas de colectivo, luces, carteles, sillas, puestos, ventanas\u2026 Veredas, Trottoirs\u2026Sidewalks.<\/p>\n

Si tuvi\u00e9semos que explicarlo, Veredas es una provocaci\u00f3n productiva, un interesante punto de partida para explorar ideas para nuestro proyecto, que continuamos explorando. Abajo les mostramos algunas ideas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
