Peoples Meeting Dome
Kristoffer Tejlgaard & Benny Jepsen
This public building was designed to be used as a place where citizens could come together and discuss the future of public housing in Bornholm. It includes seating areas and a stage where public talks could take place.
I like the concept of this building in that it is a simple yet elegant structure which provides more of a private space but to be used by the general public.
Instead of having to go to the nearest cafe etc there is this free public space that allows meeting and talks to be held.
Badeschiff

The badeschiff is a pool and recreation area. People can come cool off during the summer then relax and have a drink at the bar or lie on the man made beach. During the winter time the area is transformed into a spa and sauna recreation centre that is enclosed which a think pvc membrane that allows light through but traps in heat.
This is an example of an intersting public space that adapts and is used in both the long berlin winters and the brief but hot summers. It provides the public with a swimming and recreation area in the middle of their city, a place they would usually have to travel many hours to find.

Having steered away from 'free energy' your thoughts turned to transport and its affect on architecture but I'm not sure where you're at presently. Will it be a multi-use community space at the node of George & Queens Streets: What types of spaces / functions are needed within it? Is it mobile and/or connected to its neighbours? What is it made of? As it's Week 10 also think about a series of events taking place here and how you will be presenting this.
