This project proposes a public space typology that facilitates social exchange among occupants regardless of the density of users on site at any time. According to the distance that a human conversational voice travels, a landscape mediates visual and acoustic awareness of other occupants in the space. This partial and incomplete knowledge of the presence of others is intended to persuade acoustic and visual eavesdropping, leading to social exchange. The new surface has an embedded audio system that records and plays back conversation both over time (diachronic mediation) and across distance (synchronic mediation), compensating for complete lack of density or pockets of density on site.
