The Social Qualities Of The Trench

Continuous lines warping through the landscape with various variations characterizes the common trench. When the passage shifts social spaces emerge - spaces that
allow both passing traffic as well as stays for a longer period of time.

The trenches' social capabilities seem very suitable for a spatial translation into supermarket aisles lacking areas designated for basic interaction / informal encounters.
