"H.D.D" by Brent Haynes 
  

Harpurhey’s Density with Distance (H.D.D) is a testing ground for a new urban typology that turns social distancing protocols into an asset for Highstreet revitalization.

There has been a recent increase of awareness of spatial boundaries within the public realm. Line ups outside shops have become a new, unpleasant, part of the retail experience; and when the lines recede, paint and stickers remain as undesirable decoration to remind us of our new reality. What if we could turn these waiting irritations into memorable experiences and furthermore, integrate spatial distancing measures into an urban aesthetic?

Welcome to H.D.D.

The most prominent feature of the proposal are the three-story, tri-axial sliders, that together line up and consume the street. The sliders pickup and place sitting booths; a new urban system to provide a high-tech, pro-consumeristic solution to our socially problematic reality.
