Description:
People’s initiative in society has grown ever since. Future megacities too will turn into a people-oriented community. In a city, citizens will play a bigger role than ever. However, need for individual space outside their homes cannot be met in dreary megacities, therefore people’s interest will eventually be aimed on city space. That is, citizens in the future are in need for ‘freedom of space’; freedom to create and possess an individual space in the moment they need. Meanwhile in future automotive industry, advancement and popularization of autonomous driving technology will change the aspect of some elements of a city, for instance, roads and parking spaces. This leads to one conclusion; a series of reorganization on urban area will take place in near future.
The city Berlin too will someday face time for an urban reorganization. Berliners in 2035 will seek for freedom to possess a space for themselves whenever they need, and our solution is the renovation of urban dead space through mobility. Roads and parking spaces that used to be occupied by conventional cars will gradually become a ‘surplus’ as self- driving algorithm replaces the cities traffics. Scattered ‘dead space’ formed thereby becomes an optimal environment to fulfill people’s needs for individual space. The mobility that we present will allow future Berliners to become active main agents of the city Berlin by reforming city space themselves, fulfilling their desire for ‘freedom of space’.
