By creating other public narratives, and generating space dynamics from participation and opportunities to transform surroundings, freespace echoes the democratic needs of spaces, it permanently opens up the possibility of intervening, making and resetting the logic of space from what is public, visible and changing. Good life is public, like freespace.
The contemporary city has been characterized by its fragmentation, Venezuela has reproduced this template for building cities. Social, political, economic and urban fractures have privatized relationships and lifestyles; they have filled the landscape with walls, gates and barriers as embodied forms of fragmentation and violence.
We propose a pavilion built by repetition and grouping of blocks, a commonly used material for the construction of barriers in Venezuela. In this instance it will be used as a tool that allows interaction with the visitor to reconfigure space in different ways, generating freespaces and granting other public narratives, transforming the use of the material into something other than fracture. Just like the changing city, the pavilion will change according to the programs set up by visitors.
