From the ground, we see individual vehicles, two-ton monsters carrying humans and cargoes: Herring from Stockholm, Haggis from Aberdeen, Marcolini Chocolates, Cheese from the Balearic Islands. Modest use of brains: steering, braking, choosing another lane, or another track, fingers tapping to music on the steering wheel. We see the dusty bustle of trucks, tractors, and bulldozers. At night the drivosaur becomes a snake of colour and light, passing without beginning or end. When this drivosaur goes underground, which it will, perhaps with a fumeless electric whirr, it will still be there. Meanwhile, we imagine. This workshop will look ahead to the ghost vehicles of the ring-road. We invite students to collaborate with school children to imagine and construct drivosaurs that will be drawn, modelled and constructed as 1:1 mobile urban interventions in Luchtbal. Tissue and paper models first, bring your hairdryer, filming the traffic go by, day and night, making and running with some bigger prototypes. Reveal the drivosaur! DRIVOSAUR by Oliver Froome-Lewis & Penélope Plaza # 0 3 The confessioal booth: renewing spatial contracts of Luchtbal by Sabrina Morreale & Lorenzo Perri (Lemonot) What are the spaces across scales that enable us to come together differently, to have new forms of conversation or to change our behaviours, habits and rituals? All forms of engagements need to be designed. Through the construction of this confessional, we will discuss new spatial contracts that could be formed by collective acts of negotiation, contamination and disclosure. Wewill use fiction as a strategyof understanding power dynamics - students will work on switching roles in this inhabitable scenography - an itinerant and inhabitable device inviting different audiences to reach us. The confessional will act as a spatial framework, where everyone is invited to discuss strategies of resistance. What do you fear? What do you consider a support structure? Those conversations will become virtual scenarios and layered filmic sequences. The odd, the uncanny, the uncomfortable, the disproportionate, will be guiding principles against the norm, with the intention to reveal and intensify uncharted ordinary rituals - potential thresholds to live in Luchbal in the next 15 years. We will create a common vocabulary - a lexicon of usership - in which the confessionswill become away to initiate newcollaborations sharing tools as a form of co-ownership. A safe space, in which confidentiality and camouflaging will become our form of protection - turning the audience from spectators to future owners of the urban space.
