Urban Weave

2011

The “Schlossplatz” in Berlin is a big empty area in the center of the city that appears like a huge urban gap since the “Palast der Republik” has been torn down in 1994.

“Urban Weave” is a proposal for an interactive installation that would temporarily cover the “Schlossplatz” and let the visitors collectively reshape the place until the former castle is rebuilt.

Technically, Urban Weave consists of a grid of rotating pylons that are connected by electroluminescent wires influenced by the movements of the visitors.

In collaboration with Roland Heuger.

Project made in the "Stadt und Interaktion" class of Prof. Wettach and Prof. Loeffler at the University of Applied Science Potsdam.
