so, today in the morning, while thinking that i should do something so oliver and sandra wouldn't kill me, because i have no real scale model:

i started searching about intervention in the city and .....

and last year (some weeks ago) i thought about making a project with political advertising boards, and zaaaaaaazhhhhhs, i had another idea to use that same boards and so i got out and went to look at them, got back home start searching more and i could finally mix that other punkmachine like ideas to the kiosk project and then i saw this:
and i thought about that

what about a modular structure using fruit boxes, pallets and political advertising boards? with creation of benches, protected areas, garden, who now city crops

and then i found guerrilla gardening, and all guerrilla thinks

and now i have to keep on developing the project, but finally i'm satisfied with the new approach

new kiosk

i was striving with several problems with the concretization of the old idea:

. fear of big scale (temporal and physical)
the project involved a materialistic dimension that i'm not used to and that i don't want to be used to, and there were several problems attached to it's conception:

>>transport: (i don't like to drive), because of the dimensions, in it's construction and in the buying of its materials,
>>time: it feel to me to take a long time to finish all the details in the conception of the project in it's construction
>>costs: it would be to expensive for what it means

. fear of choice
when having something really concrete i struggle to understand witch way should i follow and so instead of developing the conception in a one direction way i do it in a continuous chain of indecisions

. against my ideals
aesthetically i was achieving what i expected, but regarding of it´s sustainability i was loosing myself in ecologically expensive materials, techniques and dynamic of work

. lost of its purpose
having as briefing a anti commercial version of a kiosk were socialization would be the main purpose, the finishing of the piece was getting so detailed that it was sinking itself in it's fragility, i mean, like if we have a really high decorated cake with all king of glazes, we don't feel like eat it, only look at it

. high complexity for basic interactions
why to have such a complex structure if what i was to bring up is such a basic need as the interaction of people

i'm a good boy

there is not going to be a real scale model tomorrow, but there will be a new project:

i will try to do do a fast backward model to present tomrrow

here it is a part of the already made real scale, not model ,but real project piece:
