“DESIGN H(ij)ACK”: while “HACK” has been widely used to describe the destructive behavior of anarchist activism, “HIJACK” is to interrupt the original continuity of an ongoing process and divert it towards its (hijacker’s) own desired course or purpose. This program proposes to merge these two phenomena. In an urban environment top-down rules always are confronted by quantitative bottom-up creative micro-tactics observed from the streets These "Informal Designs" are used everywhere as a tool to negotiate where certain rights can not apply... What does Beijings "Informal Design" have to offer us?
