A10
The A10 is a moterway ring road around the city of Amsterdam. With is total length of 32 km it connects the city and within 15 minutes you can be from one side of the city to the other.
The ring itself can be described as a no mans place/land, its function is only to transport from one location to the other. When driving on the ring it is hard to locate yourself, this is enhance by the sound wall that separate the ring from the rest of the landscape but also the pavement, vegetation and patterns. Also the ring shape is a cause of this loss of connection as it stimulates driving on auto pilot. The only way to locate yourself is by the recognition of the high building and the gaps in the sound wall that show a peak of the surrounding.
This project shows the loss of recognition and the feeling it evokes. I include contributors of the A10, its surrounding, recognition points and shapes.
