Clemenceau Bridge, a fast pace high traffic transitional space with no identity. No matter is the site or the users, it lacks of the absence and presence of both parties. In today's society, the fast-paced city has no breath stop for people to rest and reflect. We are asked to catch up with the development of the city and reminded to be the best among the all. We are rushing all day, every day, all night long. Is it what we really want? Have we forgotten what is important to us when the time just passes by without us realizing that it slips away?

​

As the current site is a transitional space to connect people from place to place, the program aims to create a deck to overlook at one of another to create awareness. The presence of a public vantage point in an urban site is revealed. The project hopes to give the users to catch a glimpse of some of the collections as they look out. Besides, it is a temporal space for people to stop and reflect about the life.

​

Therefore, the project aims to create awareness to the public that everyone should learn to stop and see, appreciate our surrounding. In the same time, reflect about the life pace that we have now. have we forgotten what is really important?

Inspired by Chinese Landscape Painting, the technique focuses on the foreground and background, leaving blank space next to the intense part to enhance the detail. The layout of the painting usually starts from a corner then slowly spread out. Taking the existing site typology to create a new intervention to realize the idea, transitional experience using light and shadow, solid and void become the essence of the project. In the same time, the new intervention will mingle with the surrounding skyscrapers to form the foreground and background. The view will be framed out and the visual of the site in constantly changing when the users pass by.
