Parking for People is temporary intervention in public space that operates as catalyst for place making by building temporary communities through engagement and participation. It is a hybrid system that operates between the scale of infrastructure, space and furniture where the visitors are an active part of the spatial production. Our proposal is intended to look at the contemporary city and reflect on its future by designing a prototype that could act as a model to reclaim urban areas that are dysfunctional or misused and to re-think forms of density. The intervention explores possibilities to build different forms of temporary communities, imagining modes of production of (public ) space. The project proposes a set of prototypical tactics for temporary activation and appropriation that could be replicable in different contexts. The project operates simultaneously in a spatial [macro]scale and human [micro] scale. It is a spatial machine that unfolds in space and allows the incorporation of multiple (public) uses in one synthetic spatial construction. It offers a time-based scenario that take into consideration material and programmatic strategies as a mode to redefine its urban presence. Its spatial definition is negotiated through hard and soft forms that trigger the creation of temporary social spaces for aggregation. The project is intended to be developed in an outdoor – public space as a prototype that could be replicated throughout the city
