A place for air, light, change, time, imagination. A way of seeing that the city is alive, i don´t want a filled, determined & finished city. Why a vacant is a problem? Don't kid me, it's just a cool response to a non asked question (with a clear reference, an over scaled streetart action). We have to stop making more and more, always looking forward (and trendier) Play but don´t play the game. I like empty spaces or vacants. A place for air, light, change, time, imagination.

Or might still...this is a very cool way of challenging you to think outside the box about what might serve as an urban infill. Architects so frequently get caught up in conventional designs or the need to "fix" urban infills with additions to the built environment, thank you for presenting a creative challenge to the status quo and providing a theoretical playground for a different approach to the urban fabric...must it always be a building?

I love the renders. The next level of this call to attention and awareness would be squatting the lots and make a real life structural statement... Just go for it! Great! I love the renders.
