There is a subtle yet dangerous difficulty in attempting to produce public space that promotes exposure without reintroducing the element of control. The idea is to resist recent attempts in urban design to create environments that promote a preconceived sense of identity within a community. Such visions of intimate space can result in the production of exclusive territories of homogeneity and sterility within the fabric of the city. This proposal is an exploration of an urban affirmation of difference.
