Galvanized steel constellations at Roskilde Music Festival “Circular Lab”
At Roskilde Music Festival’s 2024 Circular Lab we tested an iterative workshop model that allowed festival residents to participate by shaping their own recreational space to build a new design or “constellation” each new day of the festival. Testing galvanized steel pipes for an outdoor recreational structure for rest and exersice serves as a pilot for it’s potential use in other informal/temporary contexts.
Our Vision:
Rapid urbanization and climate change demand that cities rethink how to approach existing urban typologies.
Hangin is an initiative that responds to the need for more high-quality public space.
Our urban interventions provide solutions to mental health (city fatigue, loneliness, and stress) and physical health (cardiovascular, strength, and aerobic fitness) and wellbeing.
Our Solutions:
1. Outdoor Exercise
2. Places to Rest
3. Points of Gathering
4. Greening and Rehabitat
5. Heat Mitigation
6. Urban Noise Reduction
Community participants are the experts at understanding their own local needs.
Our participatory strategy is designed to identify the most impactful solutions through dialogues and working tables.
Long-term social responsibility is heightened by integrating the residents with the development of their neighborhood, park, school, shelter, camp, jail, hospital, garden, skatepark, and beyond.
