Under construction

The following task was to build the CPbox. We managed to reuse the wood from the demolished temporary pavilion and old pergola to build the box and pavilion furniture. The CPbox is multifunctional. It can be used as a cinema bar, party kitchen, storage room, puppet theatre... and information point. On the back side of the CPbox there is a black board which can be used for announcements for events in the pavilion, education actions and chalk graffiti. The CPbox has also a poster wall, access to tab water and electricity. With the addition of the box the pavilion is now ready to host a range of various activities.
Our building team has been enlarged with people from Wohnheim Hustadtring.

The Temporary pavilion is finished

Bau des temporären Pavillons auf dem Brunnenplatz - (Building of temporary pavilion)

UmBAU_stelle_ HUstadt / Temporary Pavilion on Brunnenplatz The project was done together with social-activist Matthias Köllmann who was also a member of the Aktionsteam. Together we developed the idea of building a Temporary Pavilion, which would be a try-out for the Community Pavilion proposed within the urban re-design plan of Hustadt. However, the idea wasn’t only to build a “try-out” for the future public platform but to utilise the building process to establish communication with people living at Brunnenplatz and its close vicinity. Besides we were able to observe very closely how people – different age groups – used the place itself and what could be the potential and problems within the planning of the future situation. (att.7) Gallery m, which had invited me to make the project, organised some second-hand cheap boards and even some other construction material for free which helped a great deal. The City neither approved nor dis-approved of building the Temporary Pavilion. Nevertheless we didn’t get any official building permission for this temporal structure that was placed on Brunnenplatz for another 8 months.
