Theme, Goals/Aims, Methodology:
The aim of the workshop was to work on different design topics that reflect in the city’s environment. The children were invited to explore different topics where design meets the city. They could chose between following working groups: (1) systems of orientation in the city, (2) urban furniture, (3) interventions in the cityscape, (4) temporary architecture and (5) atmospheres in the city. Each group worked then with different methodologies but finalized in model making.
Outcomes:
The workshop showed the children a range of areas where design meets the city’s environment.
