Ten curved slides bring the passengers down to a sunken plaza. Some slides meet on their way down, and all slides meet in the plaza. The plaza is lit from underneath.

We believe that architecture is the coming together of art and life. It is a container for experience. Rather than making this container an object, we have decided to dig down to make it purely about space. Path and movement are intrinsic to a plan. This is a plan that is purely circulation, but circulation that is fun. Slide down, lose control, laugh, and climb out. The path is mysterious, but the destination is clear.
