Social Peaks is a device to cultivate and foster social relations in any urban context with a temperate or hot climate:
it arises from the urban ground both physically and processually because it represents the continuity of the ground and of the social process it stimulates.
Social Peaks builds an ideal square as a place for programmed or unexpected encounters and three standings of different heights:
it is a place to rest during a work break or a walk,
it is a place for the siesta,
it is a place for a concert or an assembly,
it is a place to climb and play,
or simply to chat with a friend or stranger.
It gives some seats, some shadow, some shelter,
but it doesn’t stop the breeze and the rain.
SUSTAINABILITY
Social Peaks is environmentally sustainable, it is made of local products. 85% is
-
bamboo, for the structure,
- wood, for the seats.
FEASIBILITY
Social Peaks is a dry construction, an assembly of elements.
It doesn’t require to be anchored on the ground because its 3D bamboo structure and wood paneling make it rigid and heavy enough to don’t move.
