MY HETEROTOPIA: GARDEN
The busy and noisy daily life in a metropolis calls for a spot, a heterotope where the tired worker of downtown or the man of the neighborhood can stop for a second, feel the city, the [everchanging] weather and take a break.
Inspired by the naive and picturesque happy moment of a man enjoying life under a plane tree, the MICRO CEASEFIRE UNDER SHADOW [MCUS] is a small city garden growing next to the streets.
The hybrid typology of MCUS is merging the quality of a rich plane-tree shadow by using artificial foliage that absorbs or reflects away the severe urban noise or even transforms it to a rustle or warble sound.
The MCUS is a small breath within the megalopolis where people can escape from the hostile urban environment to smoke a cigarette, eat a snack, chat, meet, talk on the phone, or simply loaf.
Ideally many MCUS will cover the needs of passages for a pause by transforming the noise in the city to sounds of nature.
