It is a critic of our century to the architects Van den Broek & Bakema. During the sixties and seventies this architects tried to delete the existing historic roads in the city. These roads and traces remain in the collective imagination, and where the citizens are currently on a bike and travel everyday. The main idea of the project is to preserve the memory of the place and retrieve one of the historic roads. It is about recognizing and preserving a LINE (trace) to redesign it as public space for citizens. The LINE is convert in the: main street, urban bridges and small urban buildings, as a fractal architecture.
