MAGNET | "A series of short life structures... which would be used to set up new kinds of public amenity and public movement. They would occupy spaces not usually seen as sites available to the public such as the air space above roads, streets, parks lakes and railways. Magnets are designed to generate new kinds of access, views, sanctuary, safety, information and delight... Magnets are deliberately mobile, adaptaptable and re-useable, so that they do not become, as so often happens with buildings, inactive, inflexible, institutionalized, formalized, privatized or redundant. The structures, or 'tools' whcih make up magnets are inherently mobile: cranes, airport transporters, scissor lifts- so they can be hired for the length of time needed and adjusted and moved elsewhere as required. Magnets are both pragmatic and polemic in the way they turn space to public advantage. They are not an end in themselves but encourage the continual necessity for change. " (price, 1997)
