“Wippen” is a word full of varying connotations, all of which imply a certain dynamic.

However “die Wippe” or “Wippen” don`t only signify a physical phenomena but can also suggest other ideas, for example: equilibrium, repetition and fluctuation.

 

The aim of this project was to carefully analyze the diverse interpretations of the concept of “Wippen” and to use these in the concept and design for a small but exciting urban intervention within Bremen.
