El 15M – ya sea diagnóstico, proceso, movimiento, colectivo o revolución – es uno de los acontecimientos más importantes ocurridos en España desde el estallido de la guerra civil, allá por 1936. No sólo eso: es el proceso que desencadenó verdaderamente la global revolution. Su conjunto de métodos, herramientas digitales, protocolos de actuación, imaginarios y contenido están influyendo al mundo muchísimo más de lo que la mayoría de personas sospechan.

Bjarke Ingels designs a new public park in Copenhagen that celebrates diversity

Bjarke Ingels designs a new public park in Copenhagen that celebrates diversity | Urban Life | Scoop.it

Superkilen is a new urban park that cuts through the heart of Copenhagen’s diverse Nørrebro neighborhood.

The kilometer-long “Super Park”, which consists of three themed parts–is dotted with various pop artifacts and cultural mementos “sourced” from the home countries of the area’s inhabitants. Here, you’re just as likely to stumble across manhole covers from Paris and Islamic tiled fountains from Morocco as you are (ironic) neon Communist signage from Moscow and curvy benches from Brazil.

Designed in collaboration with art group Superflex and Topotek 1 architects, BIG conceived of the park as a “fusion of architecture, landscape, and art”. The team was invited to participate in the 13.4 million euro project, which aims to revitalize the neighborhood while forging a global identity capable of unifying the city’s urban fabric.

 

View more images and read about how the designers were able to achieve a “maximum freedom of expression”, which, according to Bjarke Ingels, transforms “public procedure into proactive proposition we curated a park for the people by the people.”

When we think of getting from A to B, we normally think along the lines of efficiency. Google Maps gives us options, categorizing our choices by route length and time of travel, but nowhere does it say which is the most interesting route.
