The sudden workshop is a mobile workshop and tool for the collective reactivation of public space. The simple principles of the sudden workshop invite everybody to participate and to bring in their ideas. So far we could realize different, temporary installations which all acted as prototypes for a shared and collectively maintained city. This 1:1 experience served as background and laboratory for the definition of the “common space” city. It is based on four typologies: “open market”, “open workshop”, “open kitchen” and “centers of new work”. These typologies offer well equipped infrastructures and enable us to actively learn, develop and realize our ideas. The aim of these typologies is to foster our creativity and to demonstrate the potential of our future cities as common resources.

The “future architect” platform helps us to present our ideas to a broader audience, to discuss them with international colleagues and to use the feedback to develop and improve them.
