PAPA was commissioned by the department of Urban Planning of the city of The Hague to visualize the qualities of the area around the Prinsclaus Flyover. The project resulted in the Memorandum of Basic Principles to be used by professionals who will develop this area. The concept was made by Lino Hellings. Marjolijn Boterenbrood, visual artist, drew maps of the area. Cilia Erens, soundartist composed two soundscapes. Rob van Maanen, cultural psychologist wrote a series of short texts. PAPA send photographers to fly overs abroad. Photographers Shahidul Alam (Dhaka Bangladesh) and Toye Gbade (Lagos Nigeria) pictured the activities under the flyover in their respective cities.
