City Thread
Consisting of a continuous linear volume constructed from a series of large, simple steel tubes, City Thread uses a single gesture to connect visitors in an unused space in downtown Chattanooga.
Its variable geometry allows users to discover different ways to utilize the alley, activating it throughout the year as its usage ebbs and flows.
