PARTICIPATION IN DESIGN

Talk: Thursday 7 September, 19.00, FREE

In 2003-4 public works was involved in Spacemakers, a Hartcliffe-based design project working with young people, which resulted in the design and implementation of a new local park. public works will revisit the project, which was supported by The Architecture Centre, as part of British Art Show 6. This talk will focus on participation in design through art.

public works is an art/architecture collective founded by architects Sandra Denicke-Polcher, Torange Khonsari, Andreas Lang and artists Kathrin Böhm and Stefan Saffer, who have been collaborating since 1998. All public works projects address the question how users of public space are engaging with their environment and how design and programmatic strategies can support and facilitate physical, economical and social infrastructures in the public realm.

Booking essential.
