Project
Our Project is about the gradience between the private and public. The design effort lies in the transition space between the streetscape and the buildings. This concept creates the contrast between flexible buildings and the identity holding interface landscape.
TYPOLOGY RESEARCH
We studied different commercial typologies and measured their levels between the public and private space.
POROCITY RESEARCH
From the description of PoroCity lab:
PoroCity will start from Walter Benjamin´s and Siegfried Kracauers notion of porosity as a model of the mutual penetration of public and private life and its potential of reading the city as multilayered system in continuous change. PoroCity refers to the measure of void space in a material sense, but also connects to concepts of improvisation,permeability, elasticity and resilience regarding the urban environment.
Introduced in the 1920ies as a critique of modernist urban planning, the notion of porosity reconnects infrastructural means and civic life. Porosity allows for all ranges of scale, planned and unplanned built form, public and private realms as well as orchestrated and informal courses of action.
