A system of easily mountable and removable light structures enables the infiltration of public space and provision of real rather than virtual public programs. Conceived as an economic stimulus proposal in Madrid, Spain, the project Tangram is an attempt to resolve the economic, social and environmental situation of our planet by installing a platform promoting ethical and social responsibility, sensitive to the emotional needs of each person, and strengthening collective identity and its ability to change reality.

Progress: The virtual space of social networks such as Facebook and Wassap provide freedoms that outweigh those of the physical world. The proposed are easily mountable and removable by any person that utilizes the public spaces, and fills them with real public programs. The intervention provides places for debate, art, and leisure that is not subject to political control – and from which a social, economic, and environmental revolution can generate momentum.

People: The approach may be installed in any place at low cost, allowing a social structure and customized program to be developed according to the needs of a neighborhood. This promotes an ethical and social responsibility, responding to targeted emotional and psychological needs. Customization strengthens collective identity and its ability to change perceived reality.

Planet: An energy-efficient design that leverages the wind and solar power, as well as passive systems for heating and cooling. The system retains all rainwater, and due to its temporary nature, preserves environmental quality by leaving no permanent imprint. Freedom of use allows inhabitants to develop the constructions that target specific environmental initiatives to improve the quality of life for generations to come.

Prosperity: An economic model based on exchange and solidarity in which money loses significance: the individual is aware of their interrelationships to the whole, giving residents more awareness and control over impacts. Construction is based on the Chinese game Tangram and is adaptable by inhabitants according to their current needs. Telecommunications function builds awareness of improvements developed without being filtered by mainstream media.

Place: Iconic forms that improve existing contextual conditions respond to the imagination of the inhabitants. Folk forms are reminiscent of houses, churches, palaces and other shapes that exist in collective conscience: our place, our homes, and our planet.
