Reconfigurable Street

22nd June, 10:30am – 1pm; 2pm – 4:30pm CEST

Guests: Jennifer Bonner, Wolf Mangelsdorf, Thomas Vietzke

The Square, OKP 2

The mission is to design the street as a reconfigurable network of infrastructure, furniture, equipment and energy, for rapid change between civic occupation and transportation. The Studio will design building and furniture scale elements that are modularized both for construction using factory cells, for movement throughout the city, and that can be assembled and demounted rapidly. The simulation of transport, configuration, assembly, and use will be designed using game engine software. Everything we design will be conceived from its local manufacture, to its logistics moving through the city, to its transformation through construction including being demounted, transported, stored, and re-used.
