KRADS on the Red Route in Aarhus Festuge

RECLAIM THE STREETS
During the Århus Festival, KRADS architecture will put the cars role in the center of Århus in focus. Traffic in Århus has increased. Parking lots occupy a great deal of the central city spaces in the city. Shopping streets that exists for (in symbiosis with) the pedestrian, can not utilize their full potential because of a steady current of cars, forcing people up against the walls. What if your parking lot were occupied by a small patch of recreational urban space? Would you be annoyed and irritated? Or would the thought, that your car could be occupying a valuable piece of urban space, cross your mind.
