Abstract

Cities can be investigated as machines of optimal form, function and production. With this kind of abstraction the architect can forget the social content of the city. Skopje, the capital city of North-Macedonia, has both busy social spaces as empty areas. This project is a proposal to reintegrate the social component into a complex and formal part of the city by using the field conditions theory of Stan Allen and the case study of the local Ottoman bazaar. The project transforms the current public space into a social productive space, which allows the residents to rearrange their streets by using lightweight and easy to assemble components.
