The Pla(y)cemakers<\/h2>\n

The project explores how local children\u2019s participation in spatial design can contribute to creating socially valuable meeting points and influence feelings of ownership and pride over them. It was site-specific, focusing on the small countryside village of Asklanda, through a community-based approach. The project focuses on the lack of facilities and other places for gathering and socialising in the Swedish countryside.<\/p>\n

I based my project on placemaking, a collaborative approach to reimagining and reinventing public spaces. Through initial research, I recognised a need for a clearer and more concrete definition of rural placemaking. Additionally, during the project, I have been developing a playcemaking method, which is a reimagined way of achieving place transformation through play. It acknowledges that play opportunities within spaces emerge through play. Based on the notion of children\u2019s right to decide about their environment, I held participatory workshops with local children throughout the project.<\/p>\n

The design outcome of The Pla(y)cemakers is Skojparken, a new community meeting space in Asklanda. It consists of ambiguous elements, open to multiple interpretations, and has a role as public furniture. The affordances of the space stem from the ambiguity of the forms and the ability to rearrange the space, creating new meanings.<\/p>\n
