The Space invader
(or how to hijack public place in the concrete jungle)
rePLACE Beirut workshop 2011
Walking around Beirut, one can't help but notice a lack of public places (parks, squares, gardens, esplanades...) and specifically conceived public seating (benches, bus stops...). If we skip the Corniche, and a couple of small parks with opening and closing hours and strict rules and surveillance, common space in Beirut is a fleeting abstraction and is only experienced during displacement, incidentally, as roads and trajectories from point A to point B.
I wanted to create disruptions in the routes submitted online (www.re-place.info) in the Hamra area of Beirut, by finding, improvising, or creating public places throughout them, places that encourage people to stop, relax, maybe interact or even play.
Public space is vital for a healthy society. If the city does not fully give it, then ways should be devised to take it or even make it. This short video is a preliminary one-man exploration on the subject.
