Urban Box

It is a multi-purpose structure, intended for uses such as the sale of products (e.g. newspapers, performance tickets) or the provision of information. The structure will be placed in outdoor public spaces, such as a square or a pedestrian street, and must be clearly visible from a distance. The construction will consist of a closed space that can accommodate one person and must be able to secure its interior. The Urban Box must be assembled on-site and easily installed without requiring significant ground adaptations, so that it can also be disassembled and removed without leaving permanent traces.
