The Pop
up Place Making Project is designed to create places instantly. WAX
in conjunction with SPUD and the City of Charles Sturt have collaborated with
the community, URPS and Natalie Fuller to explore the potential for place
making within Inner West Precinct of the City.
The
result is a series of reusable modified containers that can be dropped into
position and deliver place activation, any time, any place. The youth ‘hangout’ space can be left on the reserve over the school holidays and contains skate ramps, grinding
rails and seating with the external skin of the container acting as a climbing
wall. Other containers such as the
‘potting shed’ can help create community gardens on a vacant piece of land, while
the ‘exchange’ provides opportunities for pop up libraries and community spaces
that meet immediate demands for services, events or other experiences.
The
project demonstrates how innovative responses to place making can create high
performance facilities that Council or the community can have delivered to any
location that requires immediate place activation.
