Event - redefine city Space

City Space: The Final Frontier

So, here in Madrid, it has been a wacky week. First, politically rallying pigs overtook a bar in Malasaña and now architectural anarchists are planning on over-run the city. But don’t worry, both camps are cool… uh, we think. Read on and figure it out for yourself: Consider your city as a virgin space and become a new kind...

ZOOM invites you to the first "Hunting-Days" event (http://www.zoomarchitecture.fr/ )

Consider your city as a virgin space and become a new kind of urban explorer. Every new space or urban object will unlock uses of the city.

The Wikibivouac project is aimed to construct and relay alternative practices (habits) of urban territory that encourage unusual logics of space (generally related to the property of space and the commercial principles which defines it) through the possibilities that 'networked-knowledge' allow.

You and your team will have 24h to gather data that will feed the Wikibivouac's collaborative map.

Between Saturday the 8th of March, 8.00am (GMT) and Sunday the 9th, 8.00am (GMT), spend your time exploring your city in order to gather a list of places, spaces, urban objects... Keep their position (street addresses or GPS coordinate), write a short description and add them to the wikibivouac database. Each new entry will be added in real time, and shared with all the users.

If you are ready for a world wide collaborative experience, a tutorial video will be available online in the beginning of the first hunting session. It will explain to you the different aspect of the hunts but also how to enter your data in the wikibivouac database.

The rules and objectives of the “hunt” will be announced on March 7th at the end of the day check the above website.

Which city is going to be mapped first?...
