Is there a way to re- activate dead public spaces? In the site; Kings Cross (London,UK) pseudo public spaces, surveillance, and manipulative laws, lead to dead and inactive spaces. These empty streets and squares, lead people to feel anxious and unsafe. The Wood City aims to create a new collective public life through wood production and co-working. The proposed design is a simulation of a ‘city’ scape, constructed by the morphological elements found in the site; Kings Cross. In order for a public space to function, it needs to be inhabited, filled with users that feel ownership in the space.
