Cricket Shade is an optimized system based on Hypercrafting, that reorganizes open public space, through shaded passages and open air markets. Fascinated by the ‘in between’ urban life, I am designing an installation that provides shading qualities and the infrastructure to maintain the concept of living in a semi-private/semi-public space in the street level.

Hypercrafting actuates new urban interventions by bringing together 3D printing technologies with local craftsmanship. It is an architectural approach devoted to locality, allowing adaptation according to locals’ needs, expansion or disassembled and reassembled in other in another site.
