one of my fave things about my city's green spaces is their desire paths desire paths are essentially unplanned trails created by ppl moving repeatedly along the same route, usually as a shortcut and often near a formally designed path. they're usually the most direct or convenient way from one spot to another. these 2 pictured are a couple that have been in use for longer than i've been alive - the first is on halifax's citadel hill, the 2nd is on the halifax commons design may accommodate needs but often overlooks instincts... it's interesting to me that the many formal paths created by city planners on these 2 sites continue to be maintained (and generally used by the public), yet ppl still often choose to walk the grounds intuitively instead... myself included we're such unruly rebels, eh? no matter how "intelligently" or aesthetically a space is designed, we'll always find ways to inject a little organic asymmetrical chaos for ourselves.
