VIDEO-SERIE ZU THEMA ‚NEW URBANISM‘
Die Online- TV und -Videoplattform Babelgum hat auf seiner Webseite in der Rubrik Metropolis eine neue Video-Serie zum Thema ‚New Urbanism‚ gestartet. In kurzen Videoclips wird je Folge ein Beispiel eines Stadtprojektes portraitiert. Es sind Projekte wie, ein Container-Swimmingpool, Gemüseanbau auf Dächern u.A. vertreten. Mittlerweile umfasst die Serie schon etliche Videobeiträge.
New Urbanism is an original Babelgum Our Earth series exploring transformed spaces, imaginative urban living, and sustainability. Every week we’ll be bringing you some of the most innovative and spectacular art, design and architecture projects in the world.
Hier eine kleine Auswahl aus den ersten Episoden. Den Rest gibt es auf der Website.
# 3 – Dumpster pools
From smelly and ugly to fresh and entertaining: Macro-Sea Pools turns three large trash dumpsters into a swimming pool in an empty Brooklyn parking lot. This adaptive re-use project presents the neighborhood with new recreational opportunities.
# 1 – NYC Waterpod
The Waterpod is a floating eco-habitat that will study self-sufficient, water-based living. Four artists will rotate living on board the 30-by-100-foot barge as it moves to different sites around NYC for the next five months.
# 2 – Rooftop Farming
Solutions for Urban Living #2: Turn warehouse roofs into city farms and grow local, sustainably produced food. Annie Novak and Ben Flanner have been farming the rooftop of a Brooklyn warehouse since May 2009 and the 6,000 square-foot farm has over 30 different varieties of vegetables. Nearby restaurants have caught on to the idea and the urban farmers have been making deliveries on their bikes – now that’s local.
# 9 – Trailer Park
Trailer Park is a portable, natural, public park housed inside a Coachmen Travel Trailer. The interior is fully planted, designed, and treated as a „real“ park. „If you cannot go to the park, the park can go to you. Trailer Park’s transformation is so complete, it brings nature to us, mailing us the destination.“
