Our streetscape, despite its feeling of permanence in our environment, is an ideal venue for experimentation. We have come to accept traffic movement as the default function for the street. Therefore, we need to rethink its design and space distribution, go back to its original and basic function and see them as public spaces – Transform them into places for social activities, where conversations can take place and places where kids can play.
This course is apt for the people who want to bring a change in our built environment and help using the public space effectively.
Why this program?
The infrastructure is growing rapidly in this fast paced world and with this a new problem of usage of public space is arising too. This course shows you examples of remarkable changes and gives you a toolbox for implementing and evaluating street experiments yourself. It is combining research and practice in an unique way: We invite you to reimagine what is possible if we dare to use our public space differently.
