Slide Show:
My
agenda is to create a transformative, transitional public space for social
interaction, between tourists and the people of Berlin. Building onto the culture in Holzmarkt.
I
want to offer a space that gets away from the tradition social interactions of
everyday living happening in coffee shops and cafes, that
are away from the river side behind a transition walk way in the Holzmarkt. I want to extend this space into more open air onto the river Spree, this will encourage different social
interactions; trade, discussion, exchange information, performance
(music). I want to do this through connecting the two sides of the River allowing users to cross over and
interact. As I want the users to be the performers I want to focus on the idea,
of making people aware they are performing in a comfortable way. Through
research and observation, I have noticed the main way people notice themselves
is through a reflection, I want to capture this idea through water.
I
want to make the water a large focus in the
space, and have started designing with linear lines with sections of pathway, greeny and
water. I want to make people follow different paths and levels therefore making
them slow down to stop and notice themselves and interact with others.
Performing in ways that make each day different depending on the weather and
the people you meet. I want to know explore these ideas further, into creating a public space.
