The project begins by exploring the political implications of the numerous informal structures in urban areas. In the context of capital-driven development, these structures reflect people’s spontaneous desire and imagination to modify common space. FluxLot is a system designed to address such desires, derived from studying allotments; a vernacular typology of community gardens in the UK that provides an alternative to privatised land ownership. Abandoned industrial spaces are selected as sites and aim to propose new possibilities in urban development that feature gardening and community activities.

By combining digital platforms with physical instruments, Flux-Lot strives to achieve maximum flexibility in planning and building while also promoting community-based DIY through collective decision-making. Functioning as both a planner and a construction consultant, the digital platform evolves along with all architectural components on site and collects user input as the basis for future adjustments.
