THE AREA OF LA LATINA AND LAVAPIES

The area I am interested in is at the border of the inner city district of Palacio and Embajadores. It has a number of schools, cultural and social associations. It is based in the city centre with a vivid market (Rastro), a vidid nightlife and cultural points to attract international tourism.
The place chosen is in a neutral neighbourhood with people going to this place for shopping, tourism and entertainment. At the same time people living there are quite accessible and they will participate.

THE CHOSEN PLACE (S)

I would like to propose a place along the streets: Plaza de Cebada, or alternatively San Millan, Duque de Alba.

The location has to fulfil the following criteria:
• Local citizens as well as tourists and shoppers pass by on a daily basis.
• The area is safe enough to keep an object outdoor through day and night and
attract people from outside the neighbourhood. The location needs to be
found easily by visitors.
• The chosen subgrade has to be able to withstand 2-4 tons of weight.
• The neighbourhood attract a mixed population in age and nationalities.

BRINGING THE WISHES ON LA CASTELLANA, 1ST-28TH FEBRUARY 2010

The prefoered space on La Castelan is either Recoletos, between Colon and Plaza de Cibeles or from Plaza de Cibeles to the Museo Thyssen Bormemisza.

OPEN SPACE EVENT ON 27TH FEBRUARY 2010

Despite a very interesting offer to use a space in Circulo de Bellas Artes, the venue needs to take place in the project neighbourhood, ideally onsite of the former collection site. It can be held in a one day marquete tent and with break out discussion groups in a number of the surrounding coffee bars. The catering and chairs will be provided also by local businesses.
