Freeland
Part of the ‘Common Ground’ exhibition in the 13th Architecture Biennale, Venice, Italy
MVRDV and The Why Factory exhibited a collaborative project ‘Freeland’. Presented as an animated documentary on a multi-screen surround projection, Freeland explores the prospects of complete liberation of urban planning. It questions whether classical centralized planning is still needed in times of increased individualization and if instead a self-organized city can be imagined. What can be organized individually and when will we need our neighbours? What are the “minimal common grounds” of our developments?
‘Freeland’ is a collaborative project by MVRDV and The Why Factory and was made possible by the financial support of the City of Almere. Rotterdam based SYNPLE made the animation.
