metalocus, INÉS LALUETA

As a preliminary stage, and complement, the Activator Urban workshop which will held at the end of January next, within eme3 programs have launched the call for ideas: How much does your building weigh? (How heavy is your building?) This international competition is a call for ideas from around the world. Become part of a global platform for ACTION! Bring your ideas to life and participate for FREE!

OPEN Call for Ideas.

The contemporary city is in a constant state of flux. It hence becomes absolutely imperative to conceive elastic devices and new manifestos representing common spaces. Within the ordinary and daily routines of the public arena, events provide the catalyst for change. Patterns of nomadic and temporary occupation of spaces occur in the peripheral narrative of our everyday life; it is how we are unconsciously enfolded into the spatial skin of the city. How can the ACTION of an event modulate these patterns? How can then mobile elastic devices respond to these patterns of occupation and be designed to ACTIVATE urban spaces?
