A dynamic square in Chipiona

 

INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION OF IDEAS ABOUT AN URBAN CONTEXT WITH GENDER VIEWPOINT

POSITION IN THE TOP TEN

+ Manuel Gómez Tamayo

 


In general terms, the proposal is the introduction of an urban flexible furniture as a dynamic system that create a coexistance enhanced by the implication of the users. The constant dialog with his space, the interaction, the answer to the changing necessities of each one along the day. 

 

The furniture is a bench of 40x200 cm and a variable height of 40, 60 and 70 cm. A system of rails under the benches allow their movement in a enclosed circuit formed by some concentric circunference that create a little square inside.
