The underside of the Coconut Grove Metrorail
station was temporarily transformed by means of a
multi-sensory installation. A field of one
thousand, orange, coconut-scented, car,
air-fresheners were placed on thin posts to
create a micro-scaled artificial landscape. This
public act de-contextualizes an ordinary everyday
object associated with car culture and transforms
it into an extraordinary urban experience,
encouraging the passerby to consider the
Slow-Ride associated with walking or biking
through the city.

The project was installed on March 30, 2016 as
part of the University of Miami School of
Architecture USERVE day to bring awareness to the
Underline project, a new linear park and bike
trail for the City of Miami.
