Sofia Castelo - The less travelled path

Sofia Castelo proposes a temporary floating pedestrian walkway stretching from Dover towards the French coast. The Less Travelled Path is inspired by three elements: the English Channel as the historical gateway to England, the white cliffs of Dover and the Olympic Games. The walkway will be built with naval industry elements, reinforcing the historical importance of England’s seafaring past. The installation will be seven miles long from England and half a mile connecting from France. The thirteen mile long expanse in between will be connected by a sea shuttle.
