Research.

is the title of offsea’s urban strategy developed for the think tank Urban Living to which offsea was invited to participate by the Senate of Berlin. The proposal consisted of an 'urban tool kit' of possible measures that were geared up to strengthen the innate but undervalued possibilities and capabilities of the given site. employing participatory strategies.  Ranging from fixed to temporary, large-scale to micro scale, mobile to static, the spatial measures were scaled and developed to offer a high degree of adaptability, building in contingencies for uncertainties but also the ability to reconfigure, grow and add. The title Conglomerate as Urban Tactic acknowledges the fact that the proposed measures consist of a number of different and distinct parts that could be grouped and implemented together, without a strict prescription as to the way in which they should be put in place, which offsea declared as its urban tactic.
