Curator’s notes

The major transport infrastructure project featured in Action Loop is presented through the narration in this clip as an ‘investment in the future’ for the city’s commuters. The architect’s model and draft plans for Parliament Station help the viewer to imagine how this streamlined and efficient future will look.
