Due to an easily reconfigurable robotic system, it enables event locations for various purposes. Two event scenarios can occur, as well as one non-event scenario.

Firstly, the street can provide stages for the rock music festival - Rock en Seine. Regularly their stages are at the outskirts of paris. However, the project enables a more central and prominent location. Secondly, the system manages to host several different small events at once. Every year Paris hosts a festival called Latam. It is a cultural festival which mediates around latin american culture in a non stereotypical way. For that purpose areas for exhibition, music, gastronomy, dance, cinema, photography and conferences need to be available. Thirdly, what if there is no commercial event happening. The urban living room scenario occurs. Here citizens are able to rent out individual units for a certain period of time.
Citizens' living room activities get expanded to the urban streetscape. Via an app people are able to rent units for a certain duration in order to host their semi private events. This could occur as sports events, dining experiences, showrooms for art exhibitions.

Assembly happens in X and Y direction by self driving platforms, in Z direction by two simultaneously moving kuka robot arms. As the summer in Paris gets hotter and hotter the structure for the kuka assembly robot provides integrated water spraying nozzles. Additionally, the frames of the units itself are provided with water spraying nozzles as well. Water tanks can be filled up at the energy providers and due to self driving platforms the units can wander around the city and can even
