  1. 21. Playing with Public Space : Engaging Residents in a Playful Co-creation Process to Change their Neighbourhood

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Nicole Arthur Cabrera; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : I would like to open this thesis by asking the reader to reflect on the following questions regarding the urban space they live in or transit through often: How are these spaces designed? Do residents or inhabitants influence the design of these spaces? In many cities around the world we are witnessing an increased interest from the top management in including inhabitants in their planning and design schemes, yet there seems to be a problem. The way to do this remains top-down in the great majority of cases, meaning that the role of the user of space is clearly differentiated from the expert (urban planner, designer, architect), who tends to consult residents rather than include them as equals in the processes of modifying space.

    Author : Hana Shibu; [2021]
    Keywords : spirit of place; lived space; integrated perspective; evolving sequence; dynamic process; community; placemaking; alive; Arts and Architecture;

    Abstract : In response to Loures Municipal Council’s recent proposal for redeveloping the Vila Valente Quarter of Moscavide, an area in urgent need of intervention, by demolishing, starting from scratch and relocating its vulnerable residents, this thesis challenges our responsibilities as architects when it comes to community development, especially with respect to the marginalised in society.
