EXPERIMENTADESIGN AMSTERDAM 2008
Space and Place

For the first time in history the earth’s population is more urban than rural. This means that for most people on this planet, the city has become their natural habitat. When in this context we speak of growth and blossom, terrain and flow, or use other natural metaphors, we speak in fact of engineering, architecture and design. We talk about the city as a landscape, that we have created ourselves and continue to shape.

HOTEL EXPERIMENTA *-*****
A project by Jan Konings (1966, NL) for Droog Event 2: Urban Play
'Hotel Experimenta' is a temporary hotel with one room with a view. It can be seen as an inverted hotel – the neighbourhood as a whole functions as a hotel, the streets are the hotel corridors, and the inhabitants are the hosts that offer the guests services, activities and excursions. If you book a night at 'Hotel Experimenta' you sleep here and discover the surroundings. For breakfast, watching a movie, going to the sauna, having diner or engaging in activities like gardening, taking a boat trip or doing some creative work, you will need to get out and explore.
