Toolset for a City's Metabolism

We call for embracing voids within urban tissue, not necessarily meaning these should be neglected in planning but rather open for spontaneity. As a spatial tool we propose a structure that can grow and shrink according to the needs and engagement of its creators - the locals. Constructed out of simple scaffolding elements it is fully reusable.

The city garden of Eden

We should not only build a system to ensure the process of food acquisition so as to integrate into the city for a long time, but also lack an element to ensure the operation of the system. On the contrary, we should ensure the participation of urban residents, who are the key to the operation of the system.
