Space in Time
Space in Time
Modernity is a world in motion and logistics control this world. Goods, people, resources, capital, data and images move with increasing speed over long distances. In the quest for ever-new competitive advantages based on speed the logistical modernity replaces natural and urban terrain with undirected space and virtual surfaces, e.g. the virtual online shop with an "invisible" logistics center in the background. The complexity of human and urban space, however, finds no place here. Against this background, the design questions the singularity of logistical time and is searches for the SPACE IN TIME. Architectural occupations are proposed which can be embedded in these infrastructures and make use of the special features of their logistical DNA. The aim is to develop design strategies for programmatically, spatially and architecturally enriched infrastructures, transforming the strategic space of logistics into habitable space – experienceable architectural and urban terrain.
