In response to rapid demographic changes in the Mid-Market neighborhood of San Francisco, I created an interactive environment made of pivoting doors. I wanted the space to embody the uncertainty of a city in transition, a city of competing desires, a city that erases and renews. The arrangement of the space enforced a certain civility. Alone, a visitor could open the doors with abandon. With a friend, they could collaborate. But in a group, one had to navigate the space carefully to avoid harming a neighbor.
