SUEDAGE - REMAKE YOUR CITY
RENTAL
La Coruña, Spain
YEAR
2014
Remixing the Public Space of a City Center
PROJECT OVERVIEW
In 2014, as part of the FETSAC Architecture Festival in A Coruña (Spain), the installation "SUEDAGE - Remake Your City" took shape as a collective performance exploring the evolution of the urban landscape and the place of imagination in the city. Inspired by the concept of "suedage" popularized by Michel Gondry in Be Kind Rewind, this project offers an urban reinterpretation, reinventing the city center through an alternative and playful staging.
While the commercial expansion led by Amancio Ortega, founder of the Inditex group and a native of A Coruña, is pushing the city toward standardizing its outlying retail spaces, this intervention aims to reinvigorate narrative and participatory potential in the declining urban core.
