Shell of the commons

The proposed building is a ‘Shell’ where the community can develop their creations. It allocates a laboratory of digital fabrication (Fab Lab) for common use. Fab Lab’s open a way for personal fabrication contrasting the ‘possession of technologies’ to the ‘share use’ and ‘the commons’. The building itself is built using digital fabrication techniques. The internal layout (scaffolding) and landscape structures are mobile and adaptable structures that allow change.
