Oikos is a set of acupunctures <\/span>\u2013<\/span> small interventions into the very fabric of cities. In the project, I have redesigned existing elements of urban architecture, such as curbs, pavements and manhole covers, in such a way to make cities safer and friendlier for non-human citizens.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These projects mainly target the synurban fauna <\/span>\u2013<\/span> hedgehogs, rats and pigeons – as well as other similar-sized city dwellers. A second, equally important, target group is planners, officials, designers, and all those responsible for what public spaces look like. Therefore, each of my projects is prefabricated product <\/span>\u2013<\/span> in designing them, I used standardised, commonly used dimensions, focused on the easy applicability of the designs and the manufacturability of production.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n
