Desire paths and what they mean to people.
Architecture plays a large role in desire paths and their formation.
Because the architect chose to place a bench at the corner of this building, a large space was set aside to create an area where it could rest.
However, this did not stop the desire path creators from creating desire paths, and so it was done.
This pathway, another one in-between Neville and Ferland, tells the story of a student in a rush.
Shortcuts are a huge part of society in this day and age, and desire paths are an inscription in that concept.
Through this path, one must duck under branches and avoid walls in order to pass.
Truly, this is an ode to the effort one has to go through to get somewhere faster, as the intention seems to be.
This location falls right between Neville and Ferland, a path coming off of one main paved way and leading to another.
This path is a good example of how some individuals will cut corners even if the benefit is very small.
I believe that this shows an important part of society and how the world and its people think.
Even though the decrease of time is slight, people still choose to make this shortcut, and that is important to the story of desire paths.
