"UNI (urban neighborhood institution) is an open-air reading room developed for The Uni Project, a nonprofit with the ambition to create a mobile, reconfigurable, public institution in the city. Designed to take up temporary residency in neighborhoods and communities, the UNI can accommodate vastly different populations, support a variety of social and urban agendas, as well as provide a variety of spaces for public lectures, workshops, and screenings. Being portable and flexible in both form and situation, the UNI temporarily transforms almost any available urban space, in particular ones that don?t have access to amenities of traditional institutions like libraries and community centers.
