Hammock Project for sustainable living in urban milieu. Integrated space without constructing a building. Social space, bar or hotel, hanging under the bridge (bridge as a roof). Open platform for cultural activities. Eco materials are used for producing hanging space. Possible activities of Hammock Project: bar: eco, art, sound, performance and culture events; hotel: eco accommodation and Artists' In Residence (AIR: studios, exhibition and performance space, lodging) program. Platform could work as an extension to already established hotel or AIR program with some extraordinary and extreme potential. Underbridges, bridges, river banks and river are target points of the project.
Bridges connect two banks and gives opportunity to stay, live and create in-between. Urban site with its binary consciousness, dual living of east and west, open position to other cultures, immigration conflicts, etc. becomes number 1 for such project. Also characteristic of city's intimate relation to a river and to countless bridges on it. Interbank of different cultures, outlooks, attitudes, linking the edges, uniting diversities, etc.
There is a collaborative project. Artists, designers, architects can take part with their eco ideas, hands-on activities, and hammock designs.
Presented at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin, Germany.
