Open source
Exchange of information
Awareness
Infrastructures
Modularity
Keywords
We are breeding
cultures of exchange.
“Since information no longer comes
with a price tag we’re opening up our
minds, sketchbooks, and hard drives,
sharing, rather than shielding, what we
find.”
Age of rediscovery
Browsing the past for a better future
Fertilizing ancient principles with modern know-how
Breeding hybrid solutions for contemporary chellanges
Not to accumulate knowledge but rather to distill wisdom
New versions of democracy
Enery and water infrastructures
Transportation infrastructures
Financial infrustructures
“In a society where consciousness is gaining market value and
reputation is becoming the ultimate status symbol, we are
redefining wealth.”

Circular SocietyA society that considers its human
and natural capital to be the primary
assets for a sustainable economy
ApplicationsShift from massive production line to networks of small
independent product life cyles.

Infinite reconstruction cycles(close resource and components loops)
Logistical Frameworks
Modularity
“if we want to improve the concept of modularity, if we want to facilitate
compatibility and enhance flexibility, we need to open up and synchronize
current dimensional frameworks”
Modular structures
Flexibile ,scalable ,diverse open structures easiliy adopting the
environment
Standardization is needed.
“If we want to co-create our environment,we need to build with the same bricks.”

•co-founder of the art collective N55. •Danish artist, activist
“I think what’s important is to
open people’s eyes to other
ways of doing things and other
ways of living."
“We find ourselves in a situation where large concentrations of
power determines the layout of our urban environments in most
places in the world. “
“Most architects, urban planners, designers, artists etc are more than
willing to work for these concentrations of power despite the fact that these
concentrations of power do not necessarily respect the rights of persons.”
“we are social beings needing space for being different.“
“N55 propose a critical approach to city design by daring to give the
inhabitants real and meaningful influence on the form and function of their
city, and by using friendly technologies, which allows our urban
environment to exist in symbiosis with our planet rather than as a
parasite.”
“A potential revolutionary change of our urban environments lies
simply distrubuting power.”

Logic
necessary relations between different factors, and factors are what exist by the
force of those relations.
Logical relations have decisive significance. They are conditions of rational
talks
“If we are conscious of logical relations, it is possible for us to decide
whether something is right or wrong and not to allow ourselves to be
ruled by for example habitual conceptions and subjective opinions”
Ownership of Land
If we claim the ownership of land, we also say that we have more right to parts
of the surface of the earth, than other persons have.
If one does not accept that persons have the right to stay on the surface of the
earth, it makes no sense to talk about rights at all.
No persons have more right to land than other persons, but concentrations of
power use force to maintain the illusion of ownership of land.
