MIRROR MAZE
If there is to be a new public space,
it will not only be based on order and omnipresence,
but it will also be the staging of the unstable;
it will deal no more with the arrangement of more or less permanent objects,
but with creating modified realities, multiple processes that resist to crystalize in a final shape;
it will no more be related to the imposition of limits,
but with progressive principles that deny borders or alignments;
not only with planning, separation and identification of space and entity,
but with their appropriation and conversion;
it will not only will be based on growth,
but in the combination of multiple materialities that conform the scene;
it will not systematically generate elevations and facades, plans and program,
but it will be the space for new interpretations of the environment, it will find a permanent context, and make it changeable;
it will no more be necessarily tied to processes of addition,
but to revisions and reinterpretations, to the recuperation of existing elements;
it will no more be an urban gap to assume displacement,
but a space articulated and organised in each one of its variables;
there will not be cars or empty terraces,
but people turning space alive;
it will not be only aware of the design of pieces,
but also of the interaction between them;
it will no more be obsessed with the city,
but with its manipulation to reveal absent spaces;
it will not die in the attempt of eliminating borders,
but it will turn them into reflection;
and it will no more work as an authoritarian manifesto,
but as a matrix of architectures and experiences:
the reinvention of the psychological space.
