There is room for one more - opening up your Campus to the surroundings.
Co-design | Temporary solutions | public spaces
Most university campuses are public spaces but are only used by students, teachers and staff. They provide green areas, facilities and indoor spaces that are not used 24/7 by the university community, and thus offer an opportunity for people living in the neighborhood to use these facilities and get in touch with a “hidden” public space.
"There is room for one more” is a five-day workshop ending in a one-day event to showcase ideas. The students are asked to come up with activities to be tested via 3D scenarios, environmental solutions and toolkits. These will provide local people with the right means for using public spaces on university campuses. The toolkits, as tools of social interaction, are applied to investigate new forms of conviviality and to highlight features and the possibilities of using a space that is today restricted solely to an educational use. This form of rapid, brief design experiment allows for quick conclusions which can then be developed towards more stable and ordered solutions.
