PROJECT STRATEGY
Current situation
The analysis reveals that our site is an in-between space among two systems that don’t cooperate and interact: CITY SYSTEM – RESEARCH SYSTEM
Our challenge
Allow two system to interact actively
Strategy
Making our site the center of the potential network → mapping in the two system the potential sites → Connect these potential sites with channels → enable the network
potential network : set of potential relationship between the different users of the city and their environment
potential sites : set of places from which could start an interaction process between the users and the environment
channels : set of paths for the transmission of the signals; there are two types of channels: physical and “wireless”. The physical channels could be in practice the green layer, that is a real attractors space.
The channel is the surface that merge the two systems and provides the platform for interactions
network : set of effective relationship between different users and their environment. The center of the network processes and redirects all the stimuli from every potential sites. Into the network are privileged the interconnections and the activities; there’s a sort of “broadcast” transmissions between the two systems.
