Architektur | Urbanistik  Usage of social networking has become a big problem for the society. Numbers of users are from year to year rapidly expanding and people are spending more and more of their real life online. This will be even a bigger problem in future. To reduce the problem of people getting completely lost in the virtual world we have to give them another chance to try the old ways of communicating in the form of an analog game of social experience. The humanizing machine is rising from the “OK parking deck 14” 30m high, that is more than doubling the hight of the currently standing building at OK platz. It consists of 10 different levels. Each is concentrating on one of the major socializing skills. Levels are designed in the way of narrow, stretching, labyrinth like spaces which are forcing people to break the silence and communicate. Dieser Entwurf ist ein Ergebnis aus dem Entwurfsprojekt Superlinz!.
