Waking Life
How might we
Design a modular steel structure
Waking Life sprouted from a common dream of a group of friends to build a community, in a sunny spot on the globe, to plant ideas and harvest tangible, alternative ways of living, learning, loving. It is slowly blooming into a space for artistic experimentation, spirited self-expression and collective imagineering of the type of society we could cultivate if there was freedom to diverge from default reality.
Conceived in collaboration with artist duo Units, the goal is to come up with a set of sustainable structures for the Oasis space, which need to be: Sustainable: this project is meant to build structures that are here to stay, whilst using noble materials and adapting to the specificities of the soil Evolutive and modular: this project will need to happen in 3 phases. 1 phase = 1 year. This means we’ll need to have a masterplan and then carefully choose what will be build when Vegetal: the project needs to incorporate nature (kiwi, vineyard, yuka) into the design. The team that is responsible for the planting and the general permaculture-project is open to think with the design team. Shaded: needs to provide +1Functional: needs to provide sitting for +100 people 50m2 of shade
