A scaffolding structure that is able to expand facades into a private shared spaces.
The culture building, in its traditional form, plays an important and central role in shaping daily life, enabling us to look, discover, understand, and consume new knowledge through works of art of all kinds. In the same time it has a significant social role; it allows us to meet, exchange thoughts, be critical together and challenge the existing order.
The consequences of the corona virus on urban spaces are enormous. It has caused many countries and cities to impose closures and restrict movement to up to 100 meters from one's home.
The ban raised significant questions about the natural and built environment around us, about what can be found within the 100-meter radius nearest to us, and about equality between different areas of the city.
Mapping five urban scales (XS- the balcony, S- the apartment, M- the street, L- the block, XL-the city), Helped us understand the need to shrink and spread monumental- cultural programs, which can only be consumed in specific places in the city.
By dismantling and reassembling the city's "traditional" scales, we offer different intervention techniques in the city, consisting of different equipment systems, which connect to existing structures, in new scales.
Between XS to M:Equip your facade, Expand your outdoor space.Using light and basic vertical, horizontal and diagonal structural elements, with scaffolding connections between them, and simple shading and concealment elements such as curtain, net and tin, the system is able to connect to existing facades and redefine private shared space.
The equipment system allow new spaces and call for a renewed and critical look at how we use our home and our city.
Whether we had to get out of the house to meet new people or gather in to be private with our family, the new structure can teach us to be urban at home, and to be guests in the living room of the city.
