feld72 presents the PublicTrailers© in China

Vienna-based architecture collective feld72 have
concentrated much of their studio output and research on their enthusiasm for public space. For feld72, every culture defines itself by its different approach and use of public space. Their interest in Asian cultures is lead to traditions of street trading, mobilized movement across the city and the ubiquity of the bicycle trailer in urban China.
PublicTrailer© is a variety of bicycle trailers with
different functions which can be easily transported to
the most different parts of the city. The users can react very quickly on the different situations on site, they can follow the masses, they can avoid possible problems with authorities, they can form stronger and multifunctional units in combination with other PublicTrailers©. They are allowed to do actions in space that were never possible before.
Three trailers are presented at the 2009 Shenzhen & Hong Kong Bi-City Biennale for Urbanism / Architecture:
the Speaker´s Corner, the Urban Boxing and the Public Karaoke, each of them a generator of situations and a tool for new urban adventures. The user of the PublicTrailers© could go from a practical solution of daily life problems to surreal moments in space to a highly performative "Culture of Congestion".
