  • Premišljena praznina: ustvarjanje prostora in pop-up trgovine

    Prazne trgovine lahko razumemo kot mestne zaloge za eksperimentiranje s skupnimi sanjami, ne le kot prostore za ponovni zagon trgovske dejavnosti. Komercialne storitve ohranjajo in bogatijo družbeno funkcijo združevanja: niso javni prostor v strogem smislu, vendar se v njih vseeno odvija javno življenje. Kako ponovno premisliti zapuščene prostore in jim vdahniti novo življenje in obliko? Kako vključiti začasno rabo v dolgoročne procese prenove mest? Kako zbuditi zanimanje ter sprožiti razpravo o orodjih, politikah, zakonih in praksah za oživitev obrobnih, degradiranih in premalo izkoriščenih prostorov? Jih lahko uporabimo za potrebe stanovanjske preskrbe, preživljanja prostega časa in dela?
