The urban environment constitutes a space in continuous state of flux, which is always transforming as it adapts in accordance to the texture and the internal conditions. Therefore we consider Toftegards Plads Syd , as a space, or better, as spaces that are in constant state of virtual transformation. The intention is to embrace a complex system of simultaneous relations and events that are articulated by virtual mixtures; various activities and networks that interact. In order for the Toftegards Plads Syd to represent a virtual framework of relations between flows and events, the design intention is to create a static structure system of nodes and conjunctions, which at the same time act as an increasingly dynamic system and a process, a living organization that evolves. Taking into consideration that the city of Copenhagen has different variations in sunlight and temperature, we try to observe how systems in nature adopt different internal relations due to the difference of temperature. Therefore we consider that the square could be seen and designed in a similar work pattern taking into consideration the different spatial conditions that emerge from the difference of temperature. Taking the temperature diagram as a parameter, we propose a multi- layered structure consisting of different intersected mutations and evolutions which produce a sequence of events. This project was realized in collaboration with Christoforidou Theodora, Carmen Ferrando Ortells, Frosso Charalampous, Yota Piperidou, Fani Natou, Kiki Ilousi and Abel Patacho.
