We propose these prototypes of urban spherifications as a spatial technique that uses contemporaneity to generate and foster dynamics of socialization that interact with the environment in which they are located. The delimitation of a space through reflective textures allows us to create new ephemeral relationships between static and fluctuating reality, allowing us a deeper and more complex urban understanding.
A space to sit; to look without being seen; or to play safely. An architecture of conciliation, capable of generating friendlier situations and allowing the interaction of different species. This architecture is generated with different materials of a reduced gauge, the membrane being blown by industrial fans. Its clover-shaped configuration encourages traffic dynamics, allowing for greater enjoyment of the urban space.
The installation has taken shape in the Plaza de Carmelita, in Altea on 04/06/2022, in the Festival La Nit de l'Art.
