MEADOW
Emergent public spaces
Digital Speculative Urbanism Studio 2021
Aalto University
with Yasmin Abdullayeva
The goal of MEADOW lies in creating a flexible public space as an answer to rising temperatures in dense urban areas. The space is able to transform throughout the day and allow the citizens to use it however they want.
The concept originates from the combination of a natural process and a studied phenomenon. It derives from the ability of plants to trace the sun's movement for growth (heliotropism) and the idea of field condition.
