Young people, old people, children, families, teenagers, volunteers and neighbors! We all build houses together, designed new furnitures, made stencils for producing the signs of the houses developed ideas, how this social sculpture could be used. <br/>We are very sad that we had to leave now. We will not have the pleasure to join the appropriation of the spaces and houses. But we are also glad to meet you all and to be able to say: the doors are opened soon!</p> <p>Don´t forget: <br/>Open House is your house! <br/>Appropriate it with your ideas!</p>http://raumlaborkorea.tumblr.com/post/1122356075http://raumlaborkorea.tumblr.com/post/1122356075Wed, 15 Sep 2010 05:21:51 +0900<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8r47eGd381qcse7eo1_500.jpg"/><br/> POTENTIAL (2x3m) based on ...<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8r47eGd381qcse7eo2_500.jpg"/><br/> ... a subjective research made by us ...<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8r47eGd381qcse7eo3_500.jpg"/><br/> ... shows the existing urban potentials!<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8r47eGd381qcse7eo4_500.jpg"/><br/> DESIRE (7x1m) shows the city out of ...<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8r47eGd381qcse7eo5_500.jpg"/><br/> ... the subjective view of its citizens!<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8r47eGd381qcse7eo6_500.jpg"/><br/> PROCESS/ a public mapping workshop ...<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8r47eGd381qcse7eo7_500.jpg"/><br/> ... at open school, a place for ...<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8r47eGd381qcse7eo8_500.jpg"/><br/> ... collective mappings and drawings ...<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8r47eGd381qcse7eo9_500.jpg"/><br/> ... the VISION layer will follow soon ..<br/><br/> <p>openmasterplan is a research based mapping and documentation tool, continuously in transformation. It is structured by four layers of investigation, including: potential, desire, process and fiction<br/>From April to August 2010 we discovered the neighborhood around the east Hakwoon Park in Anyang, South Korea. Our research is based on walks, subjective discovering,<br/>various talks, interviews, workshops, little events as well as on propositions and manipulations.<br/>Our experiences and observations are influencing directly the architecture and functions of openhouse. We call this research based design! The mobile planting station actions were the first steps to establish the community garden and the urban detective workshop is part of the research process. The building workshop is linking the creativity of the neighborhood with the architecture openhouse.</p>http://raumlaborkorea.tumblr.com/post/1122063305http://raumlaborkorea.tumblr.com/post/1122063305Wed, 15 Sep 2010 04:16:00 +0900<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/14694327"
