Platforma 9,81
Platforma 9,81 was created in 1999 as a reaction to the inability of the architectural scene to establish an interdisciplinary and open dialogue within the scene and externally in regard to the problems of urban space culture, digitalization of the environment, influences of globalization to the perception of space and the needs of new educational methods in architecture today.
Our projects have a profoundly public quality and regularly draw together a large number of people from different domains of life. Our relation to architecture and urban planning is marked by an informal approach, non-institutional strategies of action, tendency towards research and away from habitual practice.We have so far realized a number of media projects (1:1000, Architecture Live, Architecture to the People, Open Programme, Mobile Living Room) that have dealt with the problem of built-up environments and have popularized the contemporary relationship with architecture.The realized projects and installations have a program link to art, media and urban culture (Zone of Movement of the Blind, installations for Vote ’99, the interior for the program Art Lazareti in the quarantine of Dubrovnik, the display of the 26th Youth Salon). At the meeting of architecture students on the island of Vis - EASA 2002 – we coordinated workshops and lectures and participated in the organization of the event. The workshop Light was exclusively organized and carried out by Platforma 9,81. We feel especially proud to participate as members of the active art and NGO scene in Croatia, a scene incorporating a critical mass of people and knowledge in aim of realization of developmental urban culture projects. We collaborate with numerous Croatian and foreign institutions that work with architecture and culture.
