Lek i staden: Hackande och samslöjdande urbana interventioner
Kort beskrivning
As an increasing number of the world’s children live in cities, their rights to play, participate in cultural life and express themselves become urgent matters for sustainable urban development. This project explores new artistic design methods to form public architecture and design for play and recreation and new ways of organizing children’s participation in urban development. Two lines of experimentations are developed: Hacking existing urban structures for play on the go andco-crafting temporal structures of play, farming and urban furnishing.
The project works towards a new participatory design-based framework for the implementation of UN Convention of the Rights of the Child in sustainable cities. Five partners are involved: HDK-Valand, Västra Götalands Region, The National Swedish Handicraft Council, Eco-Agroforestry Re-creation Center and Kompan.
The research project including a research group of six researchers (five from HDK-Valand and one from The National Handicraft Council and Parsons School of Design in the US).
This project is interdisciplinary in as much as it intersects artistic design, psychology and organization studies as well as it is transdisciplinary, involving five partners:
The Academy of Art and Design (HDK-Valand), coordinating partner, The National Swedish Handicraft Council (NFH), Eco Agroforestry Re-creation Center (EAC), The Cultural Development Administration, Region Västra Götaland, and Kompan.
