dutch PUBLIC ARCHITECTURE

DUS is an architectural office from Amsterdam experimenting with public space. Their materials are casual enough to shock in unconventional contexts. Check out what they make surprising spaces with umbrellas, bags, mirrors, tables and flour:

Alternative practices awarded

This is a proof that alternative, low budget practices can be noticed, awarded and mentioned next to as famous buildings as Norwegian Opera and Ballet in Oslo.

The special mention of the European Prize for Urban Public Space 2010 went to Passage 56 / espace culturel écologique – collectively managed ecological garden organized in an abandoned passageway of rue Saint Blaise as a result of a popular initiative.

Parasitten of Bureau Detours i Århus was a finalist in 2008. It’s an extra-legal construction of three terraces with panoramic views set into a colonnaded structure of a dockyard in the port.

KontenerART

/text in polish/ /pictures/

KontenerART is a mobile space for artists functioning every summer, each time in a different spot of Poznań. It Was used as a model of a revitalization prototype, gave a different face to the main square, brought the beach to the inner-land city and for sure will surprise with the new ideas next year.

Anywhere it lands, it seems to provoke a “Bilbao effect”, but with much less money, and with the constant involvement of people shaping it all the time.
