Desire Paths

Desire Path: a term in landscape architecture used to describe a path that isn’t designed but rather worn casually away by people finding the shortest distance between two points.

This term comes from Gaston Bachelard's book The Poetics of Space. This post comes from Shape & Colour

Can you think of a better term to describe these creations we take for granted everyday (especially those of us on campus 24/7)?
