The globalised city has altered not only altered the way in which city dwellers interact but also exist; consequentially both community and individual are affected and need to respond appropriately.

Low intensity contact, or passive contact is an often-underestimated subtext in forming community discourses. The modern context promotes isolation, specifically through modern technologies, in turn passive interactions have diminished and subsequently inhabitants have become disconnected from their immediate and extended social environment.

The modern city has also affected the internal relationship of individuals.  Social theorists suggest that the constant stimulation prescribed by modern life can lead to internal withdrawal. The modern context rarely provides an opportunity for one to pause, generating constant internal stimulation.

The gap between passive interaction and moments of pause is where the crux of this project lies. The project proposes two scenarios that provide a medium in which the 'passive interaction' and 'pause' can exist simultaneously.
