Thoughts on the city
How do I want to live? What do I expect of a space to live in?
The public becomes private and the private opens for the public
get in contact with people
talk to them
listen to them
irritate them
projects
. a public diary
in Weimar there are all the time boxes on the street with stuff people want to give away for free
I am creating a public diary which i will put in one of those boxes to go on a journey
.sleeping pods when i spend time in the city, a well known or an unknown city there comes a moment in the day where i suddenly feel really exhausted i think i am not the only one who is sometimes overwhelmed by masses of people and information boards everywhere what i suggest is to put up public sleeping pods in urban places, so people can take a short nap or just calm down a bit in a calm halfly private place
.optimizing cars the city is crowded. the streets are blinking of metallic silver shiny cars which are mainly just standing around, parking, waiting for someone to drive them. and then,most of the time they are just used by one single person. do we all need our own car? should cars be private? i think every car should be open for public use. maybe we could make them fly and let them drive automatically. each household gets a device where you can book a car, if you need it. on the way the car will pick up all the other people who have the same direction maybe this is still too futuristic but why not connect navigators to carsharing apps? so everytime you type an adress into your navigor, it will show you people on the way who need a ride
