Get: Ephemeral Competition

General Concept:
The Chain Link Fence has become
an important element of
the Puerto Rican urban fabric. The
result of the continuous lotification,
privatization and individualism, has
conduce to the extensive use of
this type of enclosure. As a result,
this enclosure system has contributed
to the segregation of the urban
environments and its inhabitants. Is
this collective imagery we are interested
in the project. Rather than
imposing a new system, we pretend
to use and reinvent this type
of treatment of the surface of the
chain link fence so the project will
be understandable and comprehensible
for the users of the space.
We intend to use the cyclone
fence as a connector rather than
as a separator.
