Visualizing interconnection — the results

by Snøhetta

Last week we invited the community to contribute and build upon the concept interconnection. We wanted to explore how this concept, that represents who we are, can come to life through your point of view.

In total the contributions spanned from micro to macro. Visualizing connections found in nature, in art, in technology, science, space and time. Presented through different mediums like graphs, drawings and photography. This assured our confidence in the flexibility and richness in the concept interconnection.

“When I think of interconnection, I imagine the interconnections of a rail network system or by a correspondence and station game I can move from one region to another, from one country to another. I am also thinking of a system of interdependence like an archipelago where the inhabitants sail from island to island. I am thinking of these major international hubs, meeting and exchange points for people from all over the world.”

In addition to the images showcased in this post, we got some really inspiring observations on how this concept connects and expands in relation to the movement. You can read all comments here.
