Interessanter Ansatz, freie urbane Räume für sich zu besetzten. So, dass es niemanden stören dürfte. Hier wohl eher als Kunstprojekt von Fernando Abellanas, aber das kann man ja durchaus weiter denken. Natürlich ist das nicht so romantisch wie ein Schrebergarten oder ein Haus am See, aber manche sind womöglich mit sehr viel weniger zufrieden. Auch, weil sie weniger haben.
Not the type of idyllic hut you would find in the middle of the woods but rather tiny spaces recovered from the city itself were you can hide from the city’s hectic pace. These are locations that due to its architecture, location or size have become useless and people hardly notice when walking by. When we discover, analyze and inhabit these places it reminds us of the feelings of isolation, peace and protection we experienced during childhood when hiding under the dining table surrounded with a long table cloth all around.
This project is just one of a long list of spaces I have discovered along the years and acted upon in some way.
In this case I wanted to make use of the structure under a bridge and use it as rails to drive a simple hut along the beams. At the end of the route the moving hut structure meets the furniture that makes it a useful and homely space.
In this way the approaching action creates a dialogue between isolation and protection (5 meters above ground) and the joining of hut and furniture, house and home, body and soul.
All of this in an environment where vegetation and concrete live together.
