Cual catalizador, buscaaumentar las oportunidades de interacción e intercambio en contextos donde la infraestructurapara estas actividades es insuficiente, con la aspiración de que adquieransuficiente impulso como para continuar cuando la pieza se traslade a otro destino. Así,el cubo aspira identificar oportunidades y aptitudes, dándole a sus usuarios agencia enla definición de actividades y usos del espacio público en un momento en que el tejidourbano y social de la ciudad está en pésimas condiciones.Como herramienta, la pieza busca involucrar activamente al ciudadano en su usoy operación. Su diseño flexible permite múltiples configuraciones que pueden darsoporte a un rango amplio de actividades; clases, reuniones y eventos comunitarios,exposiciones o basquetbol.La pieza consiste en una estructura en acero con componentes pivotantes metálicos yen madera, que pueden ser fácilmente instalados y operados. El cubo puede ser transportadoentero o como un kit de partes. Es robusto y atractivo a la vez, específico peroflexible, generando un marco al tiempo que deja suficiente tolerancia para permitir usosy apropiaciones que no fueron anticipadas».
