urban trends
Like to stay on topic?
this is what's up according to bmwLab.
Don't worry if you get tired just by reading all the things you could/should be doing. We don't think it is a to do list. More a 'what to organize our next public debate around ' list. More or less what the Vogue september issue is for fashionistas.
Still like to do something participatory today? Buy one more and give the extra item to someone you think needs it and enjoy together...

Invasion Poetica
Invasion Civica was a succes. The topic of the disappearing public spaces is on the political agenda, finally... Tomorrow we have a followup, we' ll make another public appearence on the ' stolen' land. With poetry and inspiration we make a soft program so the space will be used in other ways. The ancient view and the beautiful input of local poets bring some joy in the place!

What was this Invasion Civica like??
It's called Invasion Civica, a civil invasion, because it is claiming back public space that is under threat of being stolen for personal gain. Yesterday we have done our first 'Invasion Civica'... Why did we do this and is it something that will be repeated!?? It sounds nice but did it work?

link to FB page on Invasion Civica
That was a good day, yesterday our Invasion Civica really worked. The guy who is stealing the land took it really serious. Also the police and a special squat that came to clear the space. After some phonecalls, it was established. The land was public space, so the police walked out and we were staying. With mucic and dance we celebrated!

Newly built 'spontaneous' housing is part of project development in rural Lima.
We think it is romantic and see Spontaneity and selforganisation,... in a mean while someone is making a buck by putting a DIY kit up and cashing twice the investment from a newly arrived family coming from the Andes. - 21. apr, 2013
