Hammock (bar/hotel) Project for sustainable living in Berlin. Integrated space without constructing a building. Bar or hotel space hanging under the bridge (bridge as a roof). Open platform for cultural activities. Eco materials are used for designing such space. Possible activities of Hammock Project: bar: eco, art, sound, performance and culture events; hotel: eco accommodation and Artists' In Residence (AIR: studios, exhibition and performace space, lodging) program. Platform could work as an extension to already established AIR program in Berlin with some extraordinary and extreme potential. Underbridges, bridges, river banks and river are target points of the project.
Bridges connect two banks and gives opportunity to stay, live and create in-between. Berlin with its binary consciousness, dual living of east and west, open position to other cultures, immigration conflicts, etc. becomes number 1 for such project. Also characteristic of Berlin's intimate relation to a river and to countless bridges on it. Interbank of different cultures, outlooks, attitudes, linking the edges, uniting diversities, etc.
There is a collaborative project. Artists, designers, architects can take part with their eco ideas, hands-on activities, and hammock designs.
