Arsenal city farm
I established a carpet of urban fields ready to be inhabited immediately by the city farm as well as by temporary uses. Different floor materials allow different things to happen and create a different atmosphere. Infrastructural brick walls define public and private. They give public spaces an elevation and define the maximum porosity as well as the scale of the city rooms. They act as plinths for the inhabitation to come.
I want to create spaces that have a sense of belonging. Spaces with a materiality to them. Spaces with atmosphere. Spaces that allow for imagination. By using time as an important ingredient of my urban landscape an invitation to speculate becomes an essential part of the design process. I see an uncertain future as something positive and a potential. A potential to create unexpected proximities. Proximities of small and big, of solid and void, of private and public, of old and new.
