Calm corridor for city streets
A wooden corridor of tranquillity in will soon come to Adelaide’s busy streets
Known as Captiv8tion Ave, the project last week took out top prize at the South Australian Design Festival.
The team behind it will now receive $25,000 from the Adelaide City Council to construct their design, with the piece expected to be completed and installed by the end of the year.
Captiv8tion Ave uses a simple wooden structure and fabric drapes to create a small space of calm.

A wide table with recipes engraved in its surface runs along the centre of the corridor. The table is designed to encourage spontaneous meetings between people and communal dining.
The corridor would sit on a road, filling up a bay of on-street parking spaces.
The student architects who designed it say it could be used for outdoor dining or as a meeting space.
Second prize went to Giordano & Associates for their K9 parklet, which could be used for entertainment and on-street performances.
