CATALYTIC DESIGN AND INTERVENTION
The project
The idea behind this project is to bring the community together in a space where they can relate, know each other and learn to share, in order to build a stronger community. The requirements of the project was not only to build something for the community, had to act in the creation of a public space, had to have a space for flowers, as well as have a cultural significance for people in the community. The Challenge The biggest challenge was how to build something that has a cultural value for a community that we don't know. After some visits to the community and talking to some neighbors, we noticed some small memorials in the sidewalk, teddy bears, balloons and flowers in honor of people who died in the community. As we know that type of memorials are not forever, they can last a few weeks before they get dirty or the flowers die. For this reason we decided to work with this idea, to build a memorial that lasts longer, that allows the people of the community to honor and remember their loved ones. Your wings were ready, |
