By attaching a tetherball to either a lamp post or a piece of the OCAD Main Building, the space is being transformed into an area of play. This small addition challenges how we view infrastructural elements in our public space and how this space is meant to be used. Although the addition of a huge tetherball to the OCAD building would make a larger impact because of its size and novelty, this form of urban intervention could be duplicated all over the city through lamp posts. These impromtu areas of play will encourage the public to take better note of their surroundings, to interact in different ways with their physical environment, and to build community with others who occupy the same public space.
