Information point of Donostia/San Sebastián 2016

Description of the project by Zuloark

We propose a design for Donostia's public space. An open working method with a very simple idea, designing the future public space of Donostia and assemble that future in a pavilion in the present. Our proposal thinks a sort of catalog of urban furniture that will be distributed throughout the city but first can function as a catalog of "bricks" with which the pavilion of the cultural capital of Donostia 2016 is built.

We propose that the event continues becoming a direct driver of change for the city and through an open strategy, let that change can be observed once the event is over. Donostia will never be the same, in 2017 all the parts of the pavilion will be benches, lampposts and street furniture that will form the landscape of the city.

Guarantees. Informal seal of quality that the pavilion offers.-

Citizen infrastructure.-

The pavilion is designed to enable citizens to participate and use it actively. We propose it could be used as a resource for independent culture.

Marks and signatures.-

Each of the pieces of furniture and benches that form the pavilion, will be marked by the craftsman or technician who has made it.

Versatility.-

We do not propose a closed design at all, but a system that is able to crystallize in other forms and be adapted to different needs.

Reuse-Materials.-

Not only the pavilion will be 100% reusable, but we will try to reuse municipal materials in the process.

Headquarter.-

The pavilion will be the basis of a fleet of trolleys that will function as desks that allow all Donostia's neighborhoods access the capital.

Collaborative competition.-

We propose that, at an earlier stage, we can incorporate the best ideas from other teams. These can be hired to develop the design of a line of street furniture.
