MEKANO CITY


The city is our frame. We move from A to B to C within the frame on a straight line from the firestation to Højbro Plads. Our material is scaffolding, the mounting is temporary and changeable, just like a set of Mekano, where the number of parts which can be combined is infinte, creating a never ending line of possible combinations.

With our temporary structurs we envision a city where both everyday life as well as alternatives are taken into account. A city which can grow, also in the minds of people after our temporary structures have been disassemplied and moved to a new place, where they once again will maintain a new function.

With the scaffolding structures we want to set free the spaces of the city and create space for dreams, play and experiences. The ideas and thoughts behind will also be communicated though a series of posters on the route, where and pictures will point out the everyday details and the unseen sites of the city. We want to plant seeds of change and give them space to grow.
