“The urban artefact is a plead to project spatial conditions for an open urban and democratic society, for the importance of cultural co-production and the care for our environment and territory with the means of design.
Permanent permanence« argues for the »permanence« of this building in the inner-city urban fabric that performs as an open public structure. It comprehends »permanent« as a continuos care for urban space, urban culture and our living together. Like a reef it creates a dynamic stable structure that allows for the chromaticity of the everyday life and cultural co-production by providing platforms for dialogue, exchange, unexpected encounters, serendipity and civic design“.
