MAKING CONNECTIONS

This video from JAJA-architects blog "the paralell city" gives some expressions of the city life that I imagine could be the sensation of future urban life in Wergeland (I will have to make my own future scenario video for Wergeland now...). The possible connections of people when they move through the inner courtyards of the blocks when walking home from school, work or the grocery store. Enjoy!
