Open Access City
A Collective Campus for a City as Commons. | 2017
Global cities are becoming increasingly privatised. The open access city moves towards a city beyond state and market, wherein citizens shift from city users to city makers.
​
The collective campus aspires to stimulate a participative and an integrative platform to share common resources for the community, while accentuating the relation among the three autonomous state schools.
In a team of 3, a systemic model of give and take was devised, allowing the campus to perform as a common ground for sharing and coexisting, to exchange ideas, skills and services without compromising the capabilities of the schools. It, therefore, allows one to become a part of multiple communities consisted of diverse inter-generational participants, which can bring about a sense of belonging. The Collective Campus reinforces deinstitutionalization, a moment where the institutions amalgamate with the commons. Thus, truly making the citizens the city-makers.
