The transformation of Thomas B. Thriges Street in Odense, Denmark, within a parking garage, introduces a pedestrian space where a three-dimensional structure of upright steel pipes, arranged in grid systems, creates a dynamic interaction between the viewer and the environment. This installation serves as a passage, inviting the viewer to engage with the space and actively participate in its transformation. As an interactive, procedural "model," the installation encourages the viewer to become a co-creator, influencing the meaning and expression of the space.

The experience evolves with the viewer’s movement, creating a kaleidoscopic perception of the space that shifts and changes based on the individual’s position. This optical effect deepens the interaction between the viewer and their surroundings, offering a continuously evolving sensory experience. By addressing the architectural challenge of "non-places," the installation invites new ways of perceiving and engaging with spaces that are often overlooked, transforming them into engaging environments
