“Between the Door and the Street” (2013) by Suzanne Lacey
Something I noticed that was pleasing to the eye is that while people who’ve come to observe are on the inside of the yellow tape because they want to listen, they do not overstep their boundaries and allow the women to share their perspectives and experiences. In addition—and I’m unsure of Lacey’s intention—I feel that the scarves work as a microphone to emphasizing who was meant to speak while also serving as a silencer, being that scarves can suffocate if worn too tight.

SILINDOKULHE PRE-SCHOOL / Saga Collective
For its first experiment, the collective Saga involved itself in a community development project in Joe Slovo, an informal settlement in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The project consists in two building facing each other: on one side, the sanitation building with eight toilets and two sinks and on the other side, the main hall. A container is plugged to the main building and hosts a kitchen and a storage room. The building has been conceived to host the children while the architects build the actual preschool on the opposite plot. It will then become a workshop dedicated to wood and metal work.The idea is to offer a space for the many local small entrepreneurs to launch their business. They will then be able to share their tools and knowledge but also have a proper space to work other than their homes. That being said, the building was designed as a hall that could host various usages throughout time. For now, partition walls can be pulled down in order to separate the three classes of the preschool.
Para su primer proyecto, el colectivo Saga se involucró en un proyecto de desarrollo comunitario en Joe Slovo, un asentamiento informal en Port Elizabeth, Sudáfrica. El proyecto consiste en dos edificios uno frente al otro: de un lado, el edificio de saneamiento con ocho baños y dos lavabos y en el otro lado, la sala principal. Un contenedor está conectado con el edificio principal y alberga una cocina y un trastero. El edificio ha sido concebido para acoger a los niños mientras los arquitectos construyen la nueva escuela en el terreno contiguo. Más adelante se convertirá en un taller dedicado a la madera y el trabajo colaborativo. La idea es ofrecer un espacio para que los pequeños empresarios locales puedan poner en marcha su negocio. El edificio fue diseñado como una sala que podría albergar diferentes usos a lo largo del tiempo. Por ahora, sus tabiques pueden ser derribados con el fin de separar las tres clases del preescolar.

AKôO Espacio autogestionado CCEMalabo / Zuloark + Inteligencias Colectivas
For two weeks Zuloark + Inteligencias Colectivas were working with many people at the Cultural Center of Spain in Malabo, to think what they could build there that the users needed, search the materials and proffesionals and build it at the site. Most people felt the need to have somewhere in the center that could be used as they wished. So they decided to build this space for self-management. The Akôo prototype recovers and evolves construction techniques from Bioko Island. Car tires that serve as foundations are widely used for a lot of similar applications. The wood and its shape is from the island too. The color of the structure is used in many homes in the city and is the result of mixing a pigment in white paint. The plastic cover is twisted tube, reinterpreting covers of braided nipa (a kind of palm) that have been banned in Guinea. From the first moment Akôo has been used as a meeting, study, trial and shadow place.
Durante dos semanas Zuloark + Inteligencias Colectivas estuvieron trabajando con mucha gente en el Centro Cultural de España en Malabo, para pensar que podían construir aquí que los usuarios necesitasen, buscar los materiales y los profesionales necesarios y construirlo in situ. La mayoría de las personas sentían la necesidad de tener algún lugar en el centro que pudiesen usar como quisieran y fuesen los responsables del mismo. Así que se decidió construir este espacio de autogestión. El prototipo Akôo recupera y evoluciona técnicas de construcción de la Isla de Bioko. Las llantas de coche que sirven de cimentación son muy utilizadas para un montón de usos parecidos. La madera y la forma de trabajarla es de la isla. El color de la estructura se encuentra en muchísimas viviendas de la ciudad y es el resultado de mezclar un pigmento con pintura blanca. La cubierta es de tubo plástico trenzado, reinterpretando las cubiertas de nipa (una especie de palma) trenzada que han sido prohibidas en Guinea. Desde el primer momento Akôo ha estado en uso por los usuarios del Centro como lugar de encuentro, estudio, ensayo y sombra.

CINEMA USERA / Todo por la Praxis + We_Diseñamos
From the collaboration of different cultural agents of Usera District as Kubik Fabrik, Espacio Oculto Madrid, Asociación Creática and Asociación de Vecinos Barrio El Zofio, along with Intermediae, the collective Todo por la Praxis, in collaboration with We_diseñamos, articulates a co-management process for developing a temporary infrastructure in a public space inside the project Paisaje Sur.
The result of these sessions was formalized in a device that enables the development of cultural programming in different formats: the “cultural capsule” as an exhibition and meeting space, a stage and screen and two tiers that are linked to the scenic space. The proposal as a whole, mainly because of its temporary nature, will suffer adaptations, modifications or alterations in order to be able to adapt to the needs of the community. Therefore, it is interpreted as a transformable, evolutionary, open and flexible to the appropriations of the users that manage it.
A partir de la colaboración de diferentes agentes culturales del Distrito de Usera como Kubik fabrik, Espacio Oculto Madrid, Asociación Creática y la Asociación de vecinos barrio El Zofio, junto con Intermediae, el colectivo Todo por la Praxis, en colaboración con we_diseñamos, articula un proceso de co-gestión para el desarrollo de una infraestructura temporal en un espacio público dentro del proyecto Paisaje Sur.
El resultado de estas sesiones se ha formalizado en un dispositivo que posibilita el desarrollo de una programación cultural de distintos formatos: la “cápsula cultural” como espacio expositivo y de reunión, un escenario con pantalla de cine y dos gradas que se vinculan a un espacio escénico.
La propuesta en su conjunto, debido principalmente a su carácter temporal, está sujeta adaptaciones, modificaciones o alteración que respondan de manera ergonómica a las necesidades de las comunidades de usuarios que se articulen alrededor del espacio. Por tanto, se interpreta como una propuesta transformable, evolutiva, abierta y flexible a las apropiaciones de los usuarios que la gestionan y utilizan.

“Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they are doing. Do things without always knowing how they’ll turn out. You’re curious and smart and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. There are so many adventures that you miss because you’re waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go.”—Randall Munroe, xkcd: volume 0

“There are no vacant lots in nature.”— Edward Abbey
This is a great Mantra for Permaculture Design. Permaculture design is about designing our participation in an existing community of life. It’s more like entering the dance floor gracefully, finding company and dancing along for everybody’s joy. It’s not anything like altering an existing painting or painting on an empty canvas. One must also remember, the dancer has to be the designer.
I’m going to be working on another film and I need YOUR help!! Do you want your voice to be featured in a short animation film? This is your chance! All info below (reblogs very much appreciated!)
