An interactive, virtual square;
an architectural performance on the internet.
from 2004 ongoing
Email your suggestions, plans, uses of art and architectonic ideas, adding designs to existing or imaginary squares and ‘non-places’ or revising given (also virtually designed) situations; send us images (max. 300dpi, 1800 pixels, 15×10 cm) of your ideal square, your imaginary dream place to GlobalSquareIndex@syndicaat.org
In the concrete reality of
today’s world,
places and spaces
became intertwined and blend together.
Marc Auge
A database of all the existing physical squares of the world
forms a new public domain where ideas,
memories, ideals and the physical manifestations
that embody them are united.
An open source,
interactively accessible for everyone,
from which models for public places,
can develop, either virtually or physically,
into a Global Meeting Place.
From this boundless meeting point
unknown divisions or relationships can be
explored and possibly lead to new
subjective sub-places which, in turn, can
intermingle.
And so fiction and non-fiction,
dreams and ideals might fuse and coexist
in an innovative state of visualisation.
