Long sheets of colorfully painted metal would fold, bend, and wrap around the environment, and appear to burrow into surfaces,only to reappear further along the route, which is established at well-labeled moments of crossroads. These shapes burst *playfully into view, referencing the angles and corners of the KCAI core graphic, reassuring you that youre on the right tracktowards your destination.
An interesting visual complexity will emerge along main through-ways where several paths use the same route. In these places,there can be an interplay between the colors, so that its easy to tell when your path either joins with or separates from others.
