6.16 Interior view into the robotic fabrication lab in the creative hart of Vltavska Prague. The aim of the project is to reach autonomy trough production by offering a platform where enthusiasts and professionals can produce and exhibit their work. This would be achieved by stimulating robotic fabrication alongside analogue building methods. The proposal aims to tap into the existing creative culture in Prague, offering fabrication facilities to those wanting to push their ideas without having to go on board with an industrial partner. This would allow the individual not only to design his work but also to be involved in the actual fabrication of the work. Thus avoiding the linear current workflow into a more organic relationship between conception and production.
6.17 Kyri Loizou `s proposal aims to give more autonomy to the next generation by allowing parents to be more involved in the educational cycle of their own and others children in a new typology for a Primary School. As a collective, they will lead the decision making process of subjects taught to their children and the facilities required. As the primary users they would be partially responsible for the teaching and running of the school combined with space for parents to work alongside their children. The vertical school offers a radical reaction to both the urban sprawl as well as the often so rigid divide of subjects, age groups and spatial organisation of primary schools. Rather then being layered horizontally the proposal aims to stack a series of boulders which are interconnected by a spiralling bleed-out space which aims to create more communal space throughout the whole building.
