The Line rethinks the role of what rural can be and acts as an armature for a new type of “ rural performance .” The form is made into one continuous line from start to end and is synthesized into its most basic parts : the performance and the procession . The result of the design produces a certain generic quality about it that opens it up to multiple possibilities when you are not sure how it could be used or utilized . At the same time , there is almost a responsibility and an intrigue to allow it to become even more than what you imagined it to be — it takes on a life of its own . Given that so many works today are consumed with trying to create a spectacle , the architects looked at it more as a contradiction — a “ generic ” spectacle . For its users and visitors , it has proved as an object of intrigue and has outlived its initial projected lifespan . It has created a new local microeconomy , offering a venue for small events and performances for the local and regional community .
“ The profound simplicity of this temporary installation belies the complex relationship it creates with its context . It was impressive to see the consideration for durability and longevity for something temporary — it ’ s easy to picture oneself participating and relishing the experience of being at an event at THE LINE .”
