an installation by austrian architects sandra janser and elisabeth koller which is meant to provide a visual frame within the jakomini district of graz
the intention of the project is to define the streets of jakoministraße and klosterwiesgasse
by marking them as a significant design area within the city
the entrance to the jakomini district is clearly recognized by its north and south street endings
leaving them with a fresh inviting look for visitors to explore in the form of a running track
the vibrant red installation with dividing track lines in gray
attracts attention to the changes in the quarter and is meant to make people stop and absorb the newly created atmosphere
in total it measures 750 meters or 4600 square meters along the streets and pavement around the block
the project was a result of a competition in which people were asked to re-envision the jakonomi district. ‘ready. steady. go!’ was presented during the course of design month graz 2010.

© ochoresottoThe visual frame under the proposal is to define streets Jakoministraße and Klosterwiesgasse of the Jakomini district. The north and south street endings clearly delineate the entrance and passage through the district. What the visual frame serves to do is revitalize these two main streets giving them a fresh and inviting look for citizens and visitors to want to explore.
© ochoresottoThe proposal takes the form of a running track, which was applied in September 2010. It attracts the attention of passersby and residents with its vibrant color and gets people to stop and observe their new surroundings. The track is a total of 750 meters, painted in a bright red and is lined with gray.
