FPU Connecting People
As we are in our daily routine we forget what the places we go to mean to us and the reasons we visit them . The paths we walk are the traces we live on our lives , the destinations are our check points and people we meet along are the colors that paint the pictures of the days passing by .
Every person has his / her own daily pattern , comprised of steps , stops and trails . Everyday we try to find our own best way to get where we want to be and in this project we are exploring steps we take on our trail to the stop that connect us , the students of Faculty of Applied Arts .
Developing our own shortcuts and secret paths , trying to go around the busy areas , take that empty bus or the one that goes faster , taking a bike , skate board , rollerblades , going through the park , jumping over a fence , going through that gap between the buildings or just taking a better turn so you don ’ t have to walk uphill . Those are the decisions we are making everyday , decisions that form our memory map . Until we find that one way we usually take , the one we can call our local map .
Path to the faculty is in a way the path to our future . Choosing our professional orientation and building our selves though knowledge is the way we walk to our goals . And we must know that on that path we are not alone .
In our project we want to present the variety of ways , passages , tracks and trails we take on our everyday route to University . We were interested in making a conscious view of the connections between students . Our two-part project consists of an Instagram page where students will share their every day experience on their daily commute , and a sculpture which will present
