AMS (Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions) advocates itself as an open platform for collaboration. Cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary interaction will take place in a time-based pavilion. A pavilion of walls that can rotate or slide in order to create appropriate space for specific program i.e. an individual workspace, a small space for debate, or even a large lecture room. The boundaries are to be negotiated by the users themselves. This constant negotiation of space in the timeframe of a day or a week allows for the Idea Machine to operate flexibly and enable creative practices.
