OPspace: open source urbanism
CCA URBANlab

OPspace deals with the extreme landscape of inner-city void spaces. As stated by Alan Berger empty real estates and lots of transition are creating hollow urban cores, while our cities simultaneously grow rapidly at their edges. OPspace approaches the issue of extreme void spaces through the design and choreography of 4 spatial layers (architecture: hardware, programming: software, organizational frameworks: orgware, and communication: brandware) that operate cross scales. The large scale urban strategy developed re-codes the economical approach and transforms traditional rental models into short-term leases, while the small scale architectural strategy supports the need for flexibility and user adaptation.
