Circles Symbols + The Infinite Game

This project unfolds a condition in which a city floats on water, asking the questions of what makes an ideal living space, who are the urban planners, what are the social injustices caused by urban planning, and how can urban planning transcend current unjust social divisions? The new urban grid generated from the Flower of Life gives way for new spatial relationships as a bounded system in which the centers are also the intersections, leading to a series of interconnected centers. Through the participation of varying parties, organization of the urban space generated through Circles, Symbols and The Infinite Game has various possibilities depending on each participant’s goals and the cooperation between each. Lamma Island served as the test site for this proposal, providing a real-world context of pedestrian-scale village planning, contested waterfront access, and a culture of participatory placemaking.
