ArchDaily Community Selects Six Unbuilt Projects for Pedestrian Movement

ArchDaily has published a selection of six unbuilt projects submitted by its readers that prioritize pedestrian experience. The article, written by Antonia Piñeiro and published on September 25, 2026, presents conceptual designs from South Korea, Canada, Finland, Greece, Libya, and the United States. The projects include the Gwangjang-dong Multi-Sports Complex by ArchiWorkshop in collaboration with Siaplan, which features habitable rooftops connecting to the street. Other proposals employ sinuous circulation structures, covered pathways integrated into nature, and strategies to combine walking with other modes of transport. The selection argues that walkability in urbanism is not only a matter of safety and social cohesion but also a route to a more sensory lifestyle. The text notes that the relationship between design and walkability is reciprocal: certain actions only occur when we move slowly, and some structures gain greater meaning at a different pace. The projects aim to link the act of walking with contemplation of the environment, respect for pre-existing conditions, and connection with others. The article was originally published in English and translated for ArchDaily's Spanish-language edition.
