The goal is to propose new functions that actively include natural forces and have unintended positive consequences beyond the initial intentions, in order to generate income and create a sense of urban life.

Borrowing the from DoinaPetrescu, I want to explore the possibility of introducing NEW FUNCTIONS to an old space (a BACKGROUND of sorts) with the intentions of causing new, previously unexpected consequences beyond my initial thoughts. By providing people with the possibility to be useful, I pretend to create urban life.
