2O12: BUILDING IMMATERIALITY
“2012:
Building Immateriality” is a project created within the competition “Pop-up
culture” organised by the cultural programme
“Guimarăes 2012 European Capital of Culture”. It represents the seventh
of the given categories – “Pop Up Urban Element”. According to its assumptions, the project
constitutes an attempt to transform the urban landscape alongside conveying a
message. The project’s main objective is a revitalization of the vacant or
neglected areas, integrating the community, but above all changing a way of using the public space and bringing citizens and the
public space closer to each other. The designed facility aims at taking
people’s out of their houses or apartments and letting them enjoy and cherish
the outdoors space. The monolith’s goal is to show that public does not equal nobody’s.
According to it, public means belonging,
available and friendly to everybody. The idea is to create a public space
as without limits of all kinds. Kids, teenagers, adults and the elderly people
can give full reins to their imagination. With the structure, equipped with a
plug, people can do whatever they want (bring a laptop, listen to the music, watch
the football game or TV series), giving the example that things than could be
done at home now gains a new factor – a social interaction! As a result of
spending time outdoors together, the new bonds and friendships are created and
the community is becoming more integrated.
The facility which is a place of social gatherings and different forms
of entertainment both by day and night also stands as an example that public
sphere can be attractive regardless the time. The structure’s inspiration comes
from the futuristic movies, like the Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: Space Odyssey”,
where the introduction of a strange, previously unknown element brings a
development to the society. With that idea in mind, the project puts its hope
that the monolith can also revitalize
the bond between citizens and public space, which thanks to the new,
extraordinary, urban element now represents equality, diversity, attractiveness and full availability for the
community. It is believed, that once portrayed as futuristic, different
ways of utilisation of the public space can become a reality and create a
totally new quality of life for the whole city.
