During this pandemic all public parks have been closed because they could not sufficiently promote social distancing. A park as a public space not only allows people to learn and improve themselves, but also offer a place to communicate and relax. We developed a playful idea of using simulated rounded, isolated figures and cluster them all together to create the site. In the final product, users are traveling within this cluster, while being discouraged to cluster themselves. How does a public area could be shaped according to social distancing rules? A decentralization strategy has been implemented to create several spaces and pathways to distribute clusters of people into small groups or individuals. Circular divisions create ever changing functions and forms through intersections and redirection. The center of the circles are less accessible to discourage our natural tendency to cluster at a center. Instead users travel and rest within varying rings around the center. It is a flexible design that offers a response to the uncertainty of tomorrow’s public space.
