弗雷德里克市中心伙伴关系与波托马克谷建筑基金会、AIA波托马克谷和弗雷德里克艺术委员会合作，于2019年11月赞助了一场设计竞赛，在特定的小巷中进行空间装置，以更好地连接市中心的城市结构。SomePeople的提案名为 “Happy Stripe”，是三个被选中实施的项目之一。该装置将持续到2021年11月，鼓励当地人和游客安全游览弗雷德里克市中心。
The Downtown Frederick Partnership in cooperation with the Potomac Valley Architecture Foundation, AIA Potomac Valley and the Frederick Arts Council sponsored a design competition in November of 2019 for spatial installations in specific alleys that would better link the downtown urban fabric. SomePeople’s proposal called “Happy Stripe” was one of the three selected projects for implementation. The installation will be in place through November 2021 encouraging locals and visitors to safely visit Downtown Frederick.
Happy Stripe是一个有趣的线性结构，由弯曲的钢架和悬挂的尼龙绳组成。它作为一个充满活力的条纹，突出了特定地段的城市和建筑特征，同时与现有的环境创造了对话。框架的花键几何形状是对邻近建筑的窗户和外墙装饰的拱门的参考。该结构是倾斜的，强调了小巷的深度透视。装置的颜色与砖墙的颜色有关。
Happy Stripe is a playful linear structure made of a bent steel frame and hanging nylon ropes. It acts as a vibrant stripe that highlights the urban and architectural characteristics of the specific lot while creating a dialogue with the existing context. The spline geometry of the frame is a reference to the arches on the neighboring buildings’ windows and facade ornamentation. The structure is tilted emphasizing the depth of the alley in perspective. The color of the installation relates to the color of the brick facades
围绕着它。当条纹进入巷道时，红褐色的砖色变成了更明亮、更鲜艳的粉色。悬挂的绳索为结构带来了多孔性，并创造了一天中变化的俏皮阴影。
around it. The red-brown brick color becomes a brighter, more vibrant pink color as the stripe enters the alley. The hanging ropes bring porosity to the structure and create playful shadows which change throughout the day.
作为装置的一部分，设计了一个AR游戏应用，让公众在物理和数字上参与其中。游戏应用的目标是让游客在公共空间安全地相互交流，同时与社会保持距离。在虚拟环境中，装置就像一个大篮子，玩家可以向其中投掷彩球并得分。游客可以从应用商店下载该游戏，并以10人以内的团队进行游戏。
An AR gaming application is designed as part of the installation, engaging the public both physically and digitally. The goal of the gaming app is to allow visitors to interact with each other safely in public spaces while being socially-distant. In the virtual environment, the installation acts as a big basket, and players are able to throw and score colorful balls into it. Visitors can download the game from the app store and play in teams of up to 10 people.
